Spec me: A digital photo frame

Butters · 27 Mar 2008 at 16:58

Was going to post in photography but thought more people here may have actually bought one of these things.

Budget is MAX £100 and 7in.

Needs to be high res (800 x 600) and possibly have wireless. Needs also to accept any and every type of memory card, flash card, etc.

Also, glass frame or something subtle.

Appreciate any help you guys can give.

TIA

no one with digital photo frames then!?

Best I've used is the Sapphire 8" one. Works well.

However, not glass, not subtle *although the frame do paint well if gently sanded* and not wireless.

You'll be pushed to get one that's all of the above for under £100

I bought one for my girlfriend, was over £100 and it's great.
I bought one for me, was under £100 and it's garbage.

I guess you get what you pay for...

i got a Samsung 7" High Resolution Digital Photo Frame (SPF-72H)

Absolute stunner.

Be wary of the flaws with the cheap ones though, they're terribly slow at creating thumbnails of the images. This makes using the options nigh on impossible as you have to wait 5 minute in every screen while it loads all the thumbnails into memory.

My samsung one cost me £110

definately considering spending £100 + on a proper branded one.

Hmm, looking for one that takes Sony cards. Samsung looks good though

Something like the Philips 7FF2FPA/05 7" Digital Photoframe
