PC Magazine Compares/Contrasts Several Major Wireless/Digital Photo Frames
PC Magazine Online had a really, really good article on their website last Thursday about several different wireless/digital photo frames. Writer Molly K. McLaughlin did an excellent job comparing and contrasting several major brands, and if you are in the market for a wireless/digital photo frame, and I sincerely hope you are, this article would be a really good read before you made your final choice.
In her article, McLaughlin states that “. . .Still, there are many things to consider before making your purchase, including screen size, picture quality, ease of use, and media compatibility. We’ve reviewed several digital photo frames, each which offers different features and levels of quality. Most come with remotes, which is definitely a plus, since the on-frame controls aren’t
very convenient (plus they force you to get up from your chair). Some include onboard memory so you can store images right on the frame, while others offer multiple ways to transmit your photos: via memory cards, via USB — even wirelessly.
The article discusses the Kodak EasyShare EX811, the Pandigital 8.0″ Digital Photo Frame (DPF-80-2), the Image Moments 8.0-inch digital picture frame (IMT-081) from Digital Foci, the Westinghouse DPF-0561, and the Westinghouse DPF-1021.
Don’t forget to check out the Digital Foci slide show while you’re looking at the PC Magazine 
website!

Reading the PC MAG review, why is sound/MP3 playback or movies important for a DPF? I would rather have just good picture quality and just display my pictures like all no digital picture frames. I don’t even care about remotes, especially if there is a good wireless interface to manage my pictures.

What this web site needs is a good forum and feedback/review by owners to maybe give it some life. No offence.
I’ve been in the digital picture frame market for a few years now and I have yet to find the perfect frame. I’ve tried frames from $100 - $900. Disappointed in the Kodak wireless, I have Wallflower frame but it has issues and so far the Westinghouse is the best display quality but no wireless feature. I’m look forward to the day someone sells the perfect frame, I would buy at least 4-6 of them for myself and a few more as gifts. I’m at the point I should just design my own frame.
The another thing that bothers me about DPF is why are they so expensive yet the display quality is so low. $350 10″ frame is more expensive than a 19″ LCD monitor. To put it another way, that’s 1/3 the pice of a good 32″ LCD TV.
