Sony VCL-HG0730 Wide Angle Conversion Lens Review.......2007-09-29
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3M5D8JGH5U11Q I like the Sony VCL-HG0730 wide angle conversion lens. See my video review.
Sharp image with few drawbacks.......2007-09-18
I used this on a Sony MiniDV PC350
Advantages:
- The item fits well on the PC350, as expected.
- The pouch that comes with the lens is very handy.
- Clear image, even after zooming-in all the way. Did not notice any fish-eye like distortions
- Light weight. My camera can stay up if I place it on a desk without any other support with lens attached.
Disadvantages:
- The lens front cap can be lost very easily. Lost it within 20 minutes of first use. Attach the cap to the camera as soon as you receive this item (The cap doesn't snag very well on the lens and the lens sides are very smooth).
- Was kind of disappointed with the amount of increase in image size. I thought I'd be able to capture more with this lens. Maybe because this is my first wide angle lens?
- Price is a little bit high.
Conclusion:
Buy it if you have the extra cash. If you are so rich, buy a lens with wider angle (if available) but make sure it is lightweight and provides sharp image.
Can't believe I waited so long.......2007-08-20
I've been looking at wide angle lenses for years. Finally got one and it's change videoing forever.
I use my camcorder for family pictures - especially with kids, and weddings, parties and other events. Before, it was impossible to get decent shots when in a close gathering, and at best I could only get a single person at a time. Now, half the shots I get these days could never have been done without it. This is especially true with the 16x9 aspect ratio I use now.
The lens itself works great. Pictures do not lose resolution, and the camera's zoom functions as before. In fact, I usually leave the lens on all the time, just removing it when I need to do an ocasional full zoom.
Wide angle adapter for Sony.......2007-06-14
I use this on more that 50% of my travel images taking it off only for very long shots of wild animals. The image holds up well throughout the full zoom range.

Nice item if you can find one that works!!!.......2007-12-28
Most of these are junk! We had to go through 3 until we found one that actually worked. First, the USB drive was broken, then the second had a blur on the screen, and the third wouldn't even start up. Made in China - what do you expect? We are now just hoping the fourth one doesn't break!
Lousy viewing angles, paltry feature set.......2007-12-27
I purchased this model and was pretty excited about the large size (I was planning to wall mount). After setting it up though and testing out some images, I discovered that the viewing angle can best be described as "atrocious". Unless you're right smack dab in the middle of the thing, the image will be either washed out, too dark, negative image, or poor color rendition. But hey, in that sweet spot it's a nice picture. Just don't move an inch to any side.
The screen is slightly concave which I thought would hep the side-to-side viewing angle, but no, it's worse than just about any other one I've seen in stores. I wish the store I bought this at had a display model or I'd have known about the poor quality without the hassle of taking it hope, setting it up, complaining to myself, re-packing it, driving back to the store and getting a refund.
It also lacks any MP3/audio capability... not sure what another reviewer meant when they said it has MP3 features... it doesn't.
Doesn't even have a remote control! And lets face it, with a frame this big, you're more likely to wall mount. If you do, the side buttons to control the thing would be nearly inaccessible, making it even more useless.
So unless you have a spot in your house where nobody will ever see this thing from the sides and it's always perfectly at eye level, and you really really really want a large screen, do yourself a favor and get a smaller frame with better image quality. If lack of audio features doesn't bother you, no worries, but it is cool to have audio playing during a slideshow... that was a HUGE hit with another frame I gave as a gift... literally brought tears to the recipient. :)
Disappointed - and BEWARE!.......2007-12-15
I was very disappointed in this picture frame.
While this frame does have a very high resolution, it has virtually NO side viewing angle. If you aren't staring at it directly face on, then it starts to get overly-bright and washed out, or overly dark and difficult to see - depending on the angle you are viewing it at.
It also has difficulty choosing the correct orientation for a picture. If you edit the pictures in an image editor - like Photoshop - then it seems to get them right. But straight out of a camera it often gives you a "sideways" photo in the frame.
There is also a design problem with the Compact Flash card slot. It is very finicky and if you even slightly misalign the card as you are inserting it into the frame, it can fall into the sealed back of the frame. This is VERY easy to do, and I was fortunate to be able to get my card to fall back out of the slot. But it is a design flaw that had to be apparent to any testers and easily fixed by enclosing the slot so that the card couldn't fall through. Westinghouse apparently decided that this was just something we would have to deal with.
Finally, it arrived with a bright blue "dead pixel" in the center of the screen. This was not noticable on bright, "busy" pictures, but it stood out like a sore thumb on dark pictures and particularly on flesh-toned scenes - like, well - you know - people's faces.
As a comparison, I also own the Matsunichi frame which has been flawless. I expected more from a company like Westinghouse. There are better frames out there.
ONE OTHER NOTE: BEWARE - if you order this through Amazon but actually purchase it through Electronics Express, you have an entirely different (and worse) return policy which even though the product might be defective, requires you to pay shipping and limits your returns to 15 days. Look carefully before you order - if it isn't from AMAZON then you are probably up a creek if there are problems.

This is a wonderful product that amazed everyone to share your photos and videos. What a nice design too! Great product.
Westinghouse Digital Photo Frame.......2007-08-25
This is the second of these items we had. The first arrived and did not start up at all. It apparently had previously been returned for the same reason. This second one was provided at no cost by Amazon. While it worked ok for a short time, it soon lost most functionality. We could not any longer get into the menu. We also returned this item to Amazon at no charge, and this time elected to get a refund rather than a replacement.
While the defective aspects were bad enough, it was also very difficult to us. For example, the functionality through the 5 buttons on the side were not intuitive. The written description of how to use the product was poor.This was especially evident when trying to upload photos from my PC or a flash drive.Westinghouse 14.1-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame
