The age of digital photographs is brilliant, everyone can take loads of pictures and choose from the best ones. The problem is that you are left with hundreds of photos that are expensive to print out and then once you've done that where do you keep them? Well digital photoframes solve this problem, allowing you to display as many photos ... as you like in a slide show. I have a couple of these frames, and my favourite is this Sony offering. Despite being expensive in comparison to the others (around £60 online) I really like the clarity of the pictures and am a bit of sucker for Sony products.
The frame is about the same size as a standard 6x4 photo frame and has a sleek black outline. Set up is straightforward, literally get out of the box, plug in and slide your camera's SD card. Then the frame cycles through all of your pictures. You can also plug in a USB flash drive and cycle through all your photos on there. If neither of these options suit then plug it into your computer and load pictures up from there, the memory holds around 500. The frame itself has some nifty features, including being able to rotate the pictures when you change it from landscape to portrait, so they are always the correct way up. It also has a built in timer so will switch itself automatically at night and remote control for when you are having a lazy sofa day.
All in all a very modern sleek way to showcase all of your family photos in one place.

This was one of the sleekest and nicest looking digital photograph frames that I looked at. I like that it has a fairly small surround, compared to some of the frames that I was considering. This therefore doesn't detract from your photographs.
It is easy enough to set up straight from the box, just pop your picture card in and away ... you go. It also comes with a small remote control.
It is mains powered only, which is really the only gripe that I have with it. You always have to have it near a plug socket, and obviously it has the mains wire trailing from it. I would have preferred it if it also had the option to power it with batteries. You could then display it anywhere that you wanted to, and also I guess you could use it whilst travelling, again if you wanted to do this.

I received this digital photo frame as a gift and to be honest I was a bit sceptical as I thought that it was just another gadget that would be used for a while then end up in drawer. I am happy to have been proved wrong as the frame is proudly on display and will stay there for the foreseeable future.
The frame is very easy to set ... up, all you have to do is insert the memory card from your camera and there you have it, your fondest memories are on display. You can also connect the frame to your pc using a USB cable, both methods are easy to use and the photos are uploaded to the frame relatively quickly. I currently have around 250 photos on the frame, though I think it holds up to 500
The frame is black and modern looking and with an 8 inch display photos can be easily seen while it is sitting on the coffee table.
The best feature of the photo frame is the great quality of the pictures, meaning that your pictures are clear, crisp and natural looking.
The smart search function means that you can easily search through photos, allowing you to pick a specific photo which means that you can tailor your photo display to a particular guest or occasion.
The frame will automatically adjust depending on the orientation of the picture, so your pictures will always be displayed the right way up.
For those lazy days, the frame has a remote which means that settings can be adjusted from the comfort of your sofa.
The auto timer also allows you to set the frame to turn off automatically at night.
I am very happy with this frame and I feel like it's a great way to display a wide range of photos that might otherwise not have made it off the computer.
