I bought this to have a digital picture frame, AND to replace my aging clock/calendar device, so my review is from the "multi-function" end.
First, set-up was dead simple. Follow the simple pics on the start-up card and you're good to go. I bought a 4GB SDHC card as well, the unit recognized it as soon as I plugged it in.
Picture quality is quite good, and it's pretty fast given that I fed it unresized HD JPEGs. I like the random transitions feature, as well.
MP3 playback is acceptable, although the volume control is a bit dicey, you just seen to get about 3-4 levels of "loud".
Haven't tried video playback yet, that might be next.
The clock/calendar function works quite well, it makes a decent alarm clock. Waking to MP3s is nice. The date/time display is easily legible from across the room even with the brightness turned down.
The remote is VERY nice, I can adjust everything without having to get out of bed!
Cons: the manual is written in eye-destroying tiny print, I needed my magnifying glass to read some parts of it! The display is VERY bright, and it took some poking around to find out where the brightness control was. The UI is mostly easy to navigate, but some features (as to how to turn off music with the slide show) I had to hunt for. But these are VERY minor issues.
All in all, a very decent unit, at a very decent price.

The picture quality if beautiful. It is easy to load pictures. I loaded directly from my computer. I like the option of being able to do that or to insert your camera pictures directly.
Love it!

The Pandigital PAN7000DW 7" digital photo frame is the best digital photo frame I've found yet. I've purchased 4 other models in different sizes from Axion, Phillps, Smartparts, and Opteka. All of these others had various issues (16x9 when I wanted 4x3, didn't always start picture show automatically, buggy software).
The PAN7000DW is reasonably priced (about $65 from Amazon as of 11/9/2009) as compared to the Sony models which are all much more expensive.
The PAN7000DW display is excellent -- showing 800x600 pictures crisply and vividly. The software is very good with a reasonable user interface and useful options. I like displaying my photos using their original dimensions (the optimized view attempts to maximize the amount of display used but will chop off edges to accomplish this) - you can pick the view mode you want.
The frame accurately shows the EXIF photo date/time if you want to display it. It will also optionally show the current time. It has a nice calendar w/ picture view as well as the normal full frame photo view. And it seems to show ALL your photos eventually (I had a strange problem with an Opteka frame not showing all the photos, only a subset). The remote is small and is held on the back of the frame by a magnet. The remote works well (some remotes I've used have buttons that are hard to press or control). The menu structure (frame software) is logical and well arranged.
The clock functionality and auto turn on/off functionality is useful if you have power available to your frame at all times. However, I've hooked my frame up to a motion sensing power strip in my office and the time/date gets whacked when the sensor shuts off for the weekend (the time/date seem to survive for a few minutes or hours without power but not over a weekend). So if you use your frame with a motion sensing powerstrip, forget using the clock/calendar feature.
As I've discovered with many photo frames, if you want to display pictures in a particular order, they must exist in flash memory written down in that order - this is not a visible ordering - it does not depend on file name or file creation time. If you start with a totally empty flash card (or internal frame memory) then it will be the order in which the files are copied to the memory device. Macintosh and Windows file copy routines are the fastest way to copy files but the order in which copying takes place is not under your control if you move a large number of files all at the same time - the operating system parallelizes the copying for speed but this places the pictures in different physical memory order. It is too bad that most photo frames do not allow you to display in creation date order or EXIF date order or even file name order.
The best way to lay down the photos in sequence is to start with an empty flash device. Then copy the files either one by one by hand or using an automated method that copies files only one at a time. A cmd file on Windows that can do this is like:
-------
dir /b /od>c:\junk.txt
for /f "delims=*" %%i in (c:\junk.txt) do copy "%%i" f:\
-------
[...] (you need to change this script to fit your exact situation)
Alternatively you can use Photoshop Elements or some other photo management tool to export photos in sequence directly to a memory card or your picture frame.
Hopefully future photo frames will become a bit more intelligent and allow you to pick your display order.
Overall I've found the PAN7000DW to be a good value and to work as you would expect.

I bought this frame and I am completely happy with it. It has an amazing picture quality. Good music and also very easy to use. Only thing that is bit difficult to use is its remote. If you press a key it takes couple of seconds for the frame to respond. In all, very good product. Must buy!

I bought this strictly to show videos taken by my newly purchased Flip camcorder. It is one of the few that does this and does it beautifully. Handles AVI format only, but no problem as I converted the MPEG4 using free Streamclip software. Also adds music to the slideshow, another great feature. Great value for the price.
