Digital Picture Frames

The world is coming up with new and interesting things every day. A few weeks ago I was at D’s house (BF’s aunt) and I noticed a really cool screen sitting next to her. I asked her what it was and she pulled out her digital camera memory card and slipped it into this machine. With a flick of the switch her images began popping up on the screen. I’d never seen anything like this before so I had to find out where she got it. It was a Christmas gift for her but she praised it with all she possibly could.

It’s called the digital photo frame. It’s actually pretty simple to use. You take the photos with your digital camera, you transfer the memory card out of your digital camera and plug it into the five-in-one card reader on the side of your digital picture frame and then use the remote control and you’ve got your own personal slide show.

It comes in a few different sizes. You can choose from a 7″, 8″, 9″ and 10″ frame. It’s a standard five-in-one card reader that supports CF, XD, MS, SD and MMCIt video cards. It supports JPEG, MP4, DivX, AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4, MP3, WMA and WAV formats. So you don’t even have to worry about it only supporting images, you can view movie clips that have been taken with your digital camera, you can even play music in the background to give it a ‘slide show’ kind of a feel. The 7″ frame is priced around $100 but if you really do love digital photos than I’m sure you’d want to upgrade yourself to the 10″ frame that runs approximately $220. I’d say if you were really into taking pictures than that’s the one you’d go for.

You should head over to digitalframez.com and check it out. Seeing it in person is a whole lot cooler but considering how annoying it can be to change out picture frames, the ability to just plug your memory card in and have the photos alternate with the push of a button, just makes it worth the purchase.
