5.0 out of 5 stars
Good Value For Money, 17 May 2009
This review is from: NIX Designer Series Cordless 8 inch Digital Photo Frame, Internal Rechargeable Battery, Genuine High Resolution SVGA Screen, 1GB Internal Memory, Auto Rotate Sensor, 'Blue Lite' Touch Sensitive Controls - TS08C (Electronics)
This is a really good product for viewing your digital photos.
I particularly like:
1. The built-in battery - this let's you carry it around conveniently without trailing cable. Very good feature. I can't understand why others such as Sony don't do it.
2. The built-in 1GB storage - this is also very covenient although it support many other storage media formats.
3. Good quality feel.
4. It automatically rotates your image if you rotate the frame.
5. Many other good features.
I can't find fault with it. Thanks to those who took their time to write a review on this product which convinced me to buy one.
The only thing I've noticed is that the unit may suffer from interference from other devices' remote controls and cause it to malfunction. In my case, my Humax PVT remote causes this problem. A long as you know you can avoid it.

Better than the rest, 17 Jun 2009
This review is from: NIX Designer Series Cordless 8 inch Digital Photo Frame, Internal Rechargeable Battery, Genuine High Resolution SVGA Screen, 1GB Internal Memory, Auto Rotate Sensor, 'Blue Lite' Touch Sensitive Controls - TS08C (Electronics)
I have to admit to being a bit of a digital frame buff as I'm a keen photographer. I used to stick with the big brands, namely kodak and sony, and being a gadget nut I always have to buy the latest model out so I've upgraded to the new nix. Though my sony and the kodak frames have good picture quality they really lack in features, and for the sony that's a big deal considering they're so expensive. so that's why i decided to go with nix and see what the fuss was all about.
Picture quality:
without a doubt the picture quality on the nix innolux screen (just don't ask me what innolux is) is every bit as good as anything I've seen if not better. and the larger 4:3 (800x 600) screen size (compared to other brands 800 x 480) makes it better as you get your whole photo displayed without cropping or black bars down the side of the screen, for some unexplained reason kodak and sony always use wide screens which as a photographer I've never understood.
Auto-Rotate:
i like this function quite a lot as it saves me time having to go through my collection and rotate photos manually. it's especially useful when i'm showing people my latest portfolio of photos. figured this at first to be a bit of a gimicky feature, but now see it's quite useful
touch controls:
look nice, hi-tech and funky. not much else to say really.
1GB internal memory:
big memory, not much else to say either
Video and Audio:
For me this was a big deal. I take a lot of videos with my camera and like watching them on the frame, which i couldn't do on my sony or kodak frame. i even watch downloaded films on it occasionally with the headphones on in bed so as to not annoy the wife. the inbuilt stereo speakers are good for audio and playing music, but to be honest I prefer using my hi-fi for music.
the best bit about this frame that isn't mentioned in the product description is that the frame is really easy to use. for example when you switch the frame on it automatically goes straight to slideshow mode and displays your photos and also the remote control has short cut buttons to key operations like slideshow etc. compared to kodak frames this is good as i reckon it shows that the nix designers remember what this frame is primarily used for and though the frame has a lot of functions the designers have kept operating the frame simple and streamlined, whereas kodak seem obsessed with menu's, options & settings and it takes forever to view your photos.
also nifty is the cable arch. at the back of the frames stand is a tiny arch that you loop the power cable under. this neatly tucks the cable directly behind the frame even when you rotate the stand and have the frame standing vertically. seems trivial, but this always keeps the power lead neatly out of sight and takes the tension off the socket going into the frame in case you kick the lead.
one last comment is that some other reviews seem to be a bit sore regarding the touch controls, but i've had no problems.

coolski, 10 April 2009
This review is from: NIX Designer Series Cordless 8 inch Digital Photo Frame, Internal Rechargeable Battery, Genuine High Resolution SVGA Screen, 1GB Internal Memory, Auto Rotate Sensor, 'Blue Lite' Touch Sensitive Controls - TS08C (Electronics)
I've been a big fan of digital photo frames since i discovered them. It's just that they make great gifts and anyone with a digital camera will want one, so it's a no brainer and saves me time shopping.
I started buying nix frames a year back as they seemed to make more niche, style based frames like leather and wood etc. and would thus be more interesting as a gift. then recently they started making more top of the range frames like this model so i got one for myself. premium models like this are of course more expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for. In fact so far I've yet to come across a model with more features than the new 8 inch nix frames (there's another version TS08B that is without an internal battery and cheaper).
generally the functions this frame performs do seem to have practical value: auto-rotate, internal battery, internal memory etc etc. The frame has touch controls which are sci-fi cool and the kids love them, but ultimately I find myself using the remote control nearly all the time. The remote is good having shortcut buttons, so for example you can just press "slideshow" and hey presto the frame is playing a slideshow!
My daughter likes the internal battery function the best, as she and her friends crowd around the thing on the couch and can flip through their videos and photos. another unexpected benefit of the internal battery is that when you want to transfer photos from your computer to the frame you just take the frame to the computer, whereas i used to have to unplug and replug in the frame next to the computer. sounds trivial, but because of that i used to update my old frame with new photos less often. i would actually say that because of the battery we end up getting a lot more out of the frame.
though the frame has a lot of functions the best thing for me is the styling. with a completely flat, black front panel the frame just looks really cool. even when it's switched off it just looks ultra modern the way light reflects off it.
