Advantages: Easy to use

Disadvantages: Pricey

If, like me, you take loads of photos on your digital camera, you'll either never get around to printing them out or would need to take out a second mortgage to pay for the processing.

Then if you do get them printed out, what do you do with them? I've run out of space to store photo albums. The walls are chockablock with photo frames.

Well done to the person who invented digital photo frames! Just one photo frame that can display hundreds of photos.

We bought my parents the Kodak Easyshare 7" Digital Picture Frame for Christmas, and my husband surprised me with one for my recent birthday, and it's proved to be very useful.

Getting Started Guide


~~ SETTING IT UP ~~

It was really easy to set up and only took a minute or two. Just attach the plug to the plug cord, stick one end into the frame and the other end into the plug hole.
Insert a memory card into the side of the frame.
Use the remote or buttons on the frame to set the slide show interval, press play and you're all set.


~~ USING ~~

It's very easy to use and the instruction book gives step by step instructions on everything.
The remote control is very compact and operates everything on the frame, but if you lose it (could be easy to do as it's so small!) there are buttons on the frame that control everything.

You can connect it to a digital camera, or insert one of the memory cards listed below.

You can view photos singly or as a slideshow, play video clips and play music on it's own or over a slideshow.

The photos can be rotated, and videos can be rewound or fast-forwarded.

The time between slideshow pictures can be increased or decreased, and there are a number of different transition effects to choose from.
