 Coby 5.6 inch Digital Photo frame's just fine June 1, 2008

I've purchased Coby products prior to now and have always been pleased with the performance. I needed to hack this particular one into a project. I looked at every one I could find. Only the Coby 5.6 inch unit; was a size I needed, at a price I didn't mind, used a media (SD Card) that I support and played AVI's.
Everything works right out of the box so I'm not certain about support, that's a good thing though.
Longevity? I'm not sure about that. Usually the units I buy don't get used a great deal, just when I need them to work.
In a world of inflated claims of features, Coby 5.6 does what they claim it will and that's got to be worth something.

We purchased this frame in December, and it stopped working within 5 months. We called COBY for a warranty replacement, but it only has a 90 day warranty, and they would not replace it.
 Good Digital Frame for the money May 2, 2008

I got this product as a gift for all of my groomsmen. They all loved it and have been very happy with the performance of the product thus far. All the bridesmaids were jealous that all they got was jewelry. The digital picture frame ust took the #1 slot for the must buy gift.

The USB port connects to flash drives - NOT to a computer - so if you think this digital picture frame has an internal flash memory that you load from a computer, you're in for a rude surprise. I haven't tried using this picture frame with the Digital Camera memory cards it supports - I'm strictly using it with the USB interface. If you don't have a flash drive lying around, you'll have to purchase one (another $10 to $20 expense) Also it does not work with every flash drive - I eventually figured out I had to reformat my old but usable flash drive "FAT32" versus "FAT" for it to be usable with this device and to not get the error message from the picture frame GUI "not supported file". Also, to connect the picture frame to a TV, you'll have to buy a special 3.5mm to RCA composite video cable - or you may have one that came with a CamCorder or Digital camera
I do love the tiny but useful remote control, the 3x zoom, and the rotate 90% feature for shifting between portrait & landscape mode
Good for the price but the item is misleading... September 24, 2007

This little digital picture frame does it all, playing back photos, music and video (AVI only coded in Xvid). Good bargin considering other frames cost an arm and leg more; well maybe not a leg but certainly the arm. However be forewarned that this device DOES NOT, I REPEAT DOES NOT play photos and music at the same time and can only do this with video, but that is being redundant since movies are picture and sound anyway. The ad nor the box said this and in fact made it appear to be able to achieve this feat, which it cannot. That is why this product lost a star. That and the picture sometimes shows up fuzzy but that is only after like 20 minutes or so at a time.
