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!
Digital Foci’s Image Moments 8-inch digital photo album frame has been one of the better digital photo frames on the market, and now the company has announced that a new version of its Image Moments 8 digital photo album frame will debut at the Decor Expo, held September 7-9, 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Insert any digital camera memory card into the Image Moments frame and the user can display photos on a number of interchangeable picture frames. You can also copy photos to the frame’s internal memory.
The 8-inch digital LCD screen, with its 800 x 600 resolution and 500.1 contrast ratio guarantees an excellent view of all of your pictures. With the Digital Foci Image Moments, you can also use almost any kind of frame you desire; this is one of the VERY few digital frames that allows the switching of frames. If you’ve still got any fancy carved or sterling silver frames from your wedding stored away somewhere, get them out, because with the Digital Foci frame, you can use those pretty frames!
Besides being all pretty and unique in appearance, this frame has 256 MB of internal memory, which means you can store as many as 1500 pictures. The frame can accommodate all popular memory cards, memory sticks, CompactFlash, MicroDrive, SD/HC, MMC, xD-Picture Card, and MS Duo-MS Pro Duo - these and others are fully supported.
This Digital Foci frame also has a
USB slot to support computer connection.
There are multiple playback options: “Photo Slideshow Mode” automatically displays your photos with options for random photo play, transition effects, and slideshow intervals. There is also a “Folder View Mode” to browse through photos in “Photo Thumbnail View.” You can also playback MP3 music, zoom-in for a close-up, rotate or pan, and adjust brightness.
Image Moments 8 is priced at $200 and will become available in November 2007.
Look at it. It’s awesome.
