Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of CEIVA 8-inch Digital Photo Frame with Card ReaderCustomer Review: Great Product - Unique Service Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a Ceiva owner for many years starting with the original Ceiva 1 frame. I now own this model as well as a CeivaShare frame that I use at work.
The image quality is excellent and the PicturePlan subscription is optional although you will be missing the best features of a Ceiva frame if you don't subscribe. I would at least try the free trial they offer. The PicturePlan subscription allows you to send pictures to anyone anywhere in the world via the internet or cellphone. You can send pictures to other Ceiva frames or to computers via email. The ability to share photos amongst other Ceiva frames owned by friends and family is what makes the service unique. Most competing digital picture frames just use card readers or require you to upload to a web site with limited sharing functionality. Ceiva offers unlimited storage and frame management on their web site but you can just as easily send a picture directly to the designated frame you have in mind bypassing the web site. You can also subscribe to free "channels" for other content delivered daily to your frame. Ceiva warrants the frame indefinitely with an active subscription. A prepaid subscription runs $6.95 per month.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a great gift for older relatives that are not computer savvy but would enjoy receiving new family photos without any effort on their part. They can even press a button and easily order a print copy of any photo on their frame.
The frame will automatically connect to a local or toll free number nightly to download new pictures or, with an optional adapter, it can connect wirelessly. Depending on the model, the capacity is 40 or 50 photos with display intervals of your choosing.
Overall, I highly recommend this product. In addition to our two frames we have friends and relatives that own a total of eight more so our "Ceiva Family" keeps growing. I have found their U.S based customer service to be very helpful although I doubt you will need to call them as the product is very simple to operate. I own a non-Ceiva frame as well that I received as a gift and there is no comparison in terms of image quality and ease of use.
