Sony Unveils Digital Frame/Printer Combo

Greg Tarr of TWICE has the scoop on the new Sony digital picture frame/printer combo:

Sony Electronics is launching Thursday a multitasking digital photo frame and printer combination.

The S-Frame DPP-F700 is an all-in-one device that allows photo lovers to display their favorite photos and make an instant print copy for interested friends and family.

The DPP-F700, which will ship in January at a $200 estimated selling price, has a 7-inch 16:10 LCD display with WVGA (800-by-480) resolution.

The device prints 4-by-6 inch professional quality 300-by-300 dpi photos instantly in just 45 seconds.

The frame will also enable users to edit images before making prints. Editing options include enlarging, reducing, cropping, date stamping, adding borders or omitting, and adjusting brightness, contrast, hue, and sharpness.

A Creative Print mode will enable making photo calendar using more than 30 templates, print an ID photo, and create a “layout print” with multiple images on one sheet.

The S-frame includes 1GB of internal storage capacity with an auto-resizing adjustment that downsizes photos to let you store up to 2,000 photos.

The new S-Frame model supports JPEG, TIFF and BMP image file formats.

Images can be transferred to the frame via a USB connection or via most Flash memory cards, including Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Secure Digital (SD), SDHC, Multi-Media Card (MMC), CompactFlash and xD-Picture Card media.

An Auto Orientation sensor automatically rotates photos to adjust for horizontal of vertical frame placement.

Supplied accessories include a paper tray, AC adaptor, CD-ROM (print driver, PMB), operation manual, cleaning kit and stand.

Optional print packs include compatible SVM-F series: SVM-F40P (40 sheets of photo paper and cartridge), and SVM-F120P (120 sheets of photo paper and cartridges).

Exemode Yashica DVF828 – With Scanner!

My favorite digital picture frames are those with WiFi, I’ll confess, and I have a lovely big wireless Digital Spectrum MF8104 sitting on my piano as we speak.

However, I also have, here and there around the house, three different plain digital picture frames, and I like them, too, although they’re definitely not as versatile or as easy to use as the wireless frames are.

This digital frame has something different, though. It’s got a built-in scanner. Now, seriously, I think this is an awesome addition to a digital frame! Anyone with a lot of non-digital photographs lying around in old albums or shoeboxes would agree, or I’d be very surprised to hear it. Besides, with the Exemode Yashica DVF828, you’re not limited to pictures; its scanner also works with almost anything else that’s paper, such as newspaper articles, recipes, programs, etc. I think that’s really cool.

Here’s what GazTech has to say about the Exemode Yashica DVF828 digital picture frame:

The world of digital frames was becoming quite boring. Every new digital frame seemed almost exactly the same with only minor variations in details. Essentially, the new digital frames that were being released were simply replicas of the previous one. The Exemode Yashica DVF828 Digital Photo Frame attempted to differentiate itself from other models by incorporating a scanner.

The scanner adds a nice touch because it allows people to easily and directly add images to the frame’s memory from hard copies. Photos can be scanned in at 1200 x 1800 pixels resolution.

The Exemode Yashica DVF828 Digital Photo Frame also encourages a bit of creativity. Traditionally, people use digital photo frames to upload pictures of their families and friends but much more can easily be uploaded to the Exemode Yashica DVF828 Digital Photo Frame. The scanner allows an upload of items such as newspaper clippings or magazine articles. Pictures or clippings can be converted to multiple digital file formats such as MP3, JPEG, or MPEG-1.

One thing that the Exemode Yashica DVF828 Digital Photo Frame is missing is WiFi connectivity that would make it much easier for individuals to directly upload to Flickr or Youtube. Although the frame is missing WiFi technology, Exemode Yashica should receive some praise for pushing digital frames one step further towards “having it all.” The Exemode Yashica DVF828 Digital Photo Frame retails for $277.
