Digital Frames

[stewey]

I see people posting about digital frames; what are they?

[Ethel]

They are photo frames that run on mains electricity or batteries (or both) and display digital photographs either from the memory card from the digital camera or direct transfer from a pc.

They are of varying quality and this is not always reflected by the price.

This is one example:

OK. Thanks, Ethel: they're not cheap are they? You plug it into the wall and people can send you pictures?

[Ethel]

You can get them cheaper than that one. I don't know about the sending pictures bit - I suppose if it has bluetooth or similar it could be done.

I have done a lot of research into them and unless you get a higher resolution screen at least 800x600 you will probably be disappointed with the results.

If people send you a jpg through email you can connect the photo frame to your PC if it (the frame) has a USB connection and add them.
Some have internal memory. Some also accept various camera cards.

Thanks people. I guess I'm old-fashioned: I'll stick with the wooden frames and paper photos:)
