Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)


Everyone wants to show off his or her photos. Whether they just had a new grandchild or their children just got married, they want you to admire their pictures. Did they just return from an exciting vacation or business trip? They want to show off their trip! The saying has always been "a picture is worth a thousand words" and that is very true today. While someone is telling you about the excitement in their lives, they want to show you the pictures also.

Now there are wonderful ways to show off these photos. Leather envelopes are available in every color and style of leather to house four by six pictures. Whether you like the soft colors of pink or lime, or the traditional red or black leathers, you have your choice. The pictures can constantly be changed in these photo cases and up-dated at will. Newer versions are now available with the magnetic closure. These come in many colors also, and some of them have jeweled findings on the front for added zing. The leather cases can be individually monogrammed with a name or initial. As corporate gifts they can be personalized with a company name or logo. The cases are so versatile for so many occasions; they are always a popular gift. Not just for women, men will also carry these in their pocket or briefcase. The Italian cognac leather or the smooth black leathers are especially popular with the men.

A novel photo holder is the framed case that holds sixteen photos. The pictures fold out accordion style. These can also slide in and out and be changed or updated at will. The frame closes like a change purse and is very flat and sleek looking. It is available in many colors and styles of leather. Men will often carry this slim case in the smooth black leather. It actually resembles the old-fashioned cigarette or cigar case. Monogramming makes this a very special way to showcase your photos. It actually creates quite a presentation! This is also very compact and can become one of your favorite travel accessories.

For those that cannot limit their pictures to "just a few" there are a huge variety of photo albums available. They come in leathers of every color and description. Whether you like the smooth leathers best or the alligator or lizard grains, there's an album for you. These albums also hold four by six photos. Many have pages that fold out doubled, so there are eight photos on a page. In addition to leather, these albums are available in gold or silver tone. Metal albums can be engraved while the leather albums are monogrammed or embossed. These albums are so compact, they can easily fit inside your discount luggage and be taken along on your trips for everyone to admire. You can even fill your album on your travels as you move along from place to place.

It did not take long for the digital photo album to be born. With all of the digital cameras on the market today, they needed an album besides the Internet to show them off. These digital photo albums come with special paper that can be used with your printer to print right from your home computer. The photos come out very professional looking. You can continually add pages to the album as you print more and more of your favorite photos. The albums have a huge array of colors available. They can also be engraved with a name or initials to make them more personal. These albums are lightweight and can be slipped into your discount luggage to take along while you're traveling. No reason any more not to have your favorite pictures along with you to share with others.

Every country has its own flag as a symbol of the nation and the common interest of the population. So our flag is something we share and respect. We need good pictures of flags in many circumstances. For printing, for celebrations, for ...

Learn to take better pictures of flags by following these simple photo tips.

1. Show the flag in the environment
A flag isn't just a sort of clip-art. The flag is living because of its surroundings. If we want to take impressive flag pictures we need to catch the flag in the environment. It can just be the blowing wind, or the blue sky with a few clouds behind. Or the flag shown as a central point for a gathering of people or enjoyment.

2. Let the wind blow
A flag hanging lazy down from a flagpole isn't a real flag. The flag becomes alive when the wind is blowing. Take a lot of pictures of the flag in the wind with your digital camera. Each extra picture doesn't cost you a cent, and we need to be quite patient to catch the right moment when the flag is at its most beautiful position, also related to the light.

3. Get the light behind the flag
If you can take the flag pictures with the light behind the flag so the light is shining through the cloth of the flag, the flag will look much more interesting in a kind of transparent mood.

4. Avoid distracting elements reaching into the frame of the flag
The flag in itself should stand out clearly from the background and from other elements in the picture. At least that will give the most impressive flag picture in most situations.

5. Let people show their appreciation of the flag in the picture
When possible compose flag pictures in such a way that people are interacting with or showing their appreciation of the flag.

6. Decide if the flag is the main object or an additional object in the picture
The symbolic nature of national flags means that an addition of a flag to any picture can add much more than just the small area of the picture it is occupying. Lets say you are taking pictures of a group of people in another country or a building. And just by including a small flag will signal where in the world you are taking the picture.

7. Make use of the colours' of the flag
The best result for pictures isn't when you include a lot of colors in the same picture. It is much better to mach colours' to each other. If you can add an element of the same color of parts of the flag it will enhance the flag and create a more coherent picture.

8. Many similar flags can be very impressive.
Pictures with several or many flags of the same kind can be very impressive on pictures. Especially, if you follow some of the photo tips above.

Every time you go to a new country or meet a new flag you will benefit from taking an impressive picture of the flag. Exactly because of the symbolic nature of flags such pictures will serve you in many applications, like in photo shows, in PowerPoint presentation, and may be in celebrations.

In my country small country Denmark in Scandinavia we use our old red flag with the white cross not only as a national symbol, but in fact much more as a symbol of celebration and good mood and atmosphere. With every birthday - whatever it is children or up to the oldest people - the red and white flag will be raised and used to celebrate the person with the birthday. Are friends receiving their friends arriving in the airport they will bring small Danish flags to celebrate the arrival.

THE REASONS WHY SAMSUNG IS THE BEST

Touch of Color
Beautifully design inspired by light, glass and imagination

Imaging a TV that evokes true emotion, even when nothing is playing on its screen. Samsung's Toc (Touch of Color) design gives the glossy piano black bezel frame a hint of color for an HDTV that is truly original in its beauty.

ONE OF A KIND VIEWING EXPERIENCE
Samsung has a rich history of HDTV design innovation: from gorgeously sculpted silhouettes to the signature piano black finish. Now, we're applying an original, artistic perspective to flat panel HDTV design, drawing inspiration from the art of glassblowing...

Auto Motion Plus120Hz
LCD action has never been smoother

By calculating where moving objects would be in between the original frames, we are able to create and insert new frames to bring film up to TV speed and virtually eliminate motion blur.

REFRESH THE MOVIES ON TV
Samsung's new LCD HDTVs with a 120Hz refresh rate are now capable of showing frames at 120 frames per second. Since 120 is a multiple of both 24 and 30, films with 24 fps can be played back as smoothly as they were filmed, letting you take full advantage of new technologies such as Blu-ray Disc.

Super Slim LCD
Presenting Samsung's slimmest LCD HDTV ever

What's the skinny on Samsung's new LCD HDTVs?
There's less to see, thanks to shallower cabinets and thinner bezels than previous models. Since it's all about the picture, they feature Samsung's newest HD innovations that eradicate blur and enhance contrast for magnificent details.

THIN AND PRETTY
Full HD; slimmer TV. A mere 1.9" deep, Samsung's slimmest LCD HDTV is as much as 60 percent thinner than conventional flat-panel TVs. It's even slimmer than its remote. Place it on the pedestal or mount it nearly flush on the wall...

Infolink RSS Access
News, weather, stock quotes and more delivered straight to your HDTV

Samsung's InfoLink RSS Access makes it easy for you to stay on top of the news, even while watching your favorite programs. Get personalized, real-time weather, news, stock price quotations and more delivered to your HDTV screen from USA TODAY.

YOUR LIFE ON DEMAND
USA TODAY will push content to your TV via an RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed. No PC needed, just an Ethernet cable and an Internet connection. A wireless connection is even possible on Samsung's 7 Series and above flat panel TVs. The service is no additional cost to any owner of a Samsung HDTV with the Infolink feature.
