Top 5 Digital Picture Frames

by Michael Carr

Why get a simple do-nothing picture frame when you can have an amazing electronic version that displays slide shows, serves as an mp3 player, plays DVDs or even receives photos from family and friends across the country? The newest digital camera picture frames take photo displaying to the next level, and make ideal gifts for parents, grandparents and friends. Here are the top digital picture frames.

1. Ceiva Digital Photo Receiver and Frame

The nicest thing about this particular digital frame is that you can send photos back and forth to these frames instantly. This makes it ideal for a parent, grandparent or friends who lives a long distance away. The good news is this is also one of the least expensive models. The downside is that a subscription is required to transmit photos, but you can also give the gift of the subscription for as little as $6.92 monthly.

2. eMotion 3-in-1 Desktop Media Player and Digital Frame

This is so much more than a digital frame. It also serves as a portable DVD player and CD player. This is a wonderful gift for families on the go, and especially for parents who are business travelers. It accepts SD, MS and MMS memory cards, and it can run on battery power for up to 2.5 hours.

3. Wireless USB Digital Photo 8x10 MemoryFrame

Who needs wires? This frame not only displays digital photos, but you can transmit pictures from your computer to the frame wirelessly. It's also packed with almost all the features you'd want in a digital frame. It reads six types of memory cards, and holds about 80 photos in its internal memory. It has dual speakers to play narration or music in stereo. This is a top-of-the-line digital picture frame.

4. Digital Foci Image Moments Digital Picture Frame

The Digital Foci Image Moments Digital Picture Frame takes the old fashioned photo frame to the next level. Accepting all the major, currently-used memory cards, you can display digital images (even with background music). The downside is the frame has no internal memory and is among the pricier models.

5. MemoryVue 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame

If you wany the classic look of old-fashioned picture frames, but the flexibility and convenience of a digital picture frame, this is a great choice. The wood frame is attractive, and it plays both MPEG videos and displays photos. It reads six types of media cards.
