OP here with a follow up.

I got an SD card and loaded a few pics onto it to try out the frame before giving it to my parents. Very disappointing. Picture quality was poor, but that wasn't my biggest concern as they're not really "high-def" people. The viewing area is 7", but each picture loaded about half that size. So there was a large ring of "black space" around each picture. There was a zoom feature, but you can't use that in conjunction with the slide show. So, I would need to spend time re-sizing each picture first before loading onto the frame. I thought I read about some frames having an automatic re-sizing feature. Anyone have experience with automatic re-sizing? I want this thing to be easy to use, so I think I'm going to return this and find a better model.

FYI - I would share the brand of this frame, but it doesn't have one. I twas an $88 black friday deal at JC Penny. I guess you get what you pay for.
