I just got an SPDPF56E today. The manual is worse than poor. It won't reliably read Memory Stick Duo cards and doesn't support the MSDuo adapter because it has a metal jacket. My MSduo, directly from the camera has 768 photos on it, the SPDPF56E only goes to 142 and then to number 1. The transitions are too slow and non-adjustable, combined with the non-adjustable slide change rate, 50% of the viewing is watching the stupid transitions. Finally the picture quality is poor, somewhat fuzzy, very low resolution. It is going back to the store tomorrow. I am comparing it to a Matsunichi 5.6” Digital Picture Frame (PF560), which has sharper pictures, but overall poor resolution too and is being returned also.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

Thanks, that was really helpful. I'm considering buying the 10.4"...
