I have now bought two of these for grandparents/great- grandparents to showcase pictures of their new grandson. It is a perfect gift! Almost. Here are a few of the cons that knocked it down to a 4.5 star rating:
CONS:
1. The angle of viewing is pretty limited. You pretty much have to be looking straight at the device to get a clear picture.
2. It throws off a lot of light. In other words, it will not blend into the background of a room. Like a TV, your eyes will be drawn to it. This is not a huge con but for those thinking it will blend seamlessly with their vintage decor like a regular frame, it will not.
3. It does not come with an easy way to connect directly to your computer. We purchased a $10 USB stick which helped with the transfer. On a similar note, it would also be nice to be able to hook it directly to a TV so you could launch a slideshow for the family. Pie in the sky I know, but a girl can dream.
4. THIS IS A USER ISSUE! You really have to commit to one format (portrait or landscape) for all your photos and stick with it. If you have a mix of the two, whatever way the frame is set-up will be the default setting. In other words, if your frame is standing on its short end, any landscape photos will come up on the screen at a fraction of their size. Just keep this in mind when choosing pictures for the frame (and when shooting pics to put on the frame).
5. No Ken Burns effect. I'm not saying I love this, or would even use it, but why not just add it to the functionality for those that do?
6. It would be nice to not have to plug it in all the time as it limits the areas of the home/office that you can display the frame. An option to charge it or use batteries would be nice.
PROS
1. Clear, bright, picture.
2. Great control over photo slideshow (timing, auto turn off, order).
3. Easy to set-up.
4. Sleek and elegant look.
5. Great size.
6. Decent price when you think about all of the photos you do not have to print, frame and mat!
Overall, I would (and will) purchase again and again. Hope this helps!

Good quality but...
The frame wasn't that easy to load images. Sometimes they just didn't load at all... the SONY glowing logo is also annoying...

I bought this as a gift for my parents who are not tech savvy people at all. It's easy to use. Anyone who knows how to upload/download files can easily use this product. This product does what it's meant to do: display photos. And we are completely satisfied with it. I wish it came with larger internal memory, but other than that this is a perfect gift for family and friends. I'm actually thinking about buying one for myself.

Comments about Sony 8" Digital Photo Frame (128MB Memory):
We have so many pictures that are tucked away that nobody ever looks at, and now it is a pleasure to display them - not only for company, but to enjoy ourselves. This digital photo frame was so easy to use, no problems. Since this is my 1st frame, I went with the 8", but I now I'm thinking the 10" Frame might be better.

Comments about Sony 8" Digital Photo Frame (128MB Memory):
It's simply a terrific frame. I did a lot of research, and so far it has lived up to expectations - a beautiful frame at a reasonable price. I had a cheaper brand, and it simply quit working. Finally replaced it with the Sony, and I am very happy. It's in our foyer so it's one of the first things guests see, and everyone comments on how nice it is. Pictures are clear, and the different transitions in the slideshow format are fun. Can't wait to try the video and audio options. Hope it lasts for a long, long time!

Sharp Images, Easy to Use, Nice features like programming a day and time to display images, has several options to display clocks and calender. An important feature is that it resizes, instead of cropping, an image to fit the frame. Has auto-orientation.

Comments about Sony 8" Digital Photo Frame (128MB Memory):
After reviewing many digital picture frames, I choose the Sony DPF-D810 because of it's resolution, re-sizing of the image and ease of use. All my expectations were met and the overall product exceeded my expectations.
I was looking for a DPF that would store images internally, easy to setup. Remote works great and all the screens were self explanatory. Many options for viewing the slide-show, which includes showing a calendar and or clock. Frame can be programmed to turn on / off at a specific time. The Sony logo can be turned off. Images loaded via USB flash or SD card worked fine. Resizing, not cropping is an important feature.
Frame might be more expensive, but is quality and set-ups easily with remote.
Only improvement suggestion would be a way to attach the remote to the frame.
Considering buying more as gifts.

This is a nice digital photo frame, but it does not appear to have any feature that saves settings once unplugged or turned off! It is frustrating to reset the slide show settings each and every time the unit is turned on.

I received one of these as a gift and loved it so much that I turned around and bought one for my parents and it gave it to them over the holidays. They loved it! It's so easy to use, and the photos look wonderful. My sister and her husband were so impressed, that they plan on buying one.
The internal memory on the frame is pretty small, but we just either use flash drives or camera memory cards. These have a lot more memory and then we don't even need to hook the frame up to the computer, you just plug in the drive or card and you're done!
I would highly recommend this frame and want to stress how user friendly it is. I know a lot of people that are not very tech savvy, and I would feel comfortable suggesting this frame to any one of them!
