Drawbacks of Digital Photo Frames

In a previous blog I discussed the latest report on Kodak’s EasyShare EX1011 digital photo frame. While some testers rated the device as one of the best on the market others pointed out some obvious drawbacks to this particular model. For example, while the frame has a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter to connect with your home wireless network, making it unnecessary to string a USB cord for access to photos from your PC (a definite pro) or the Kodak Gallery, you cannot access photos from other photo-sharing sites, such as Flickr. Another complaint lodged by testers, which is common among wireless-enabled … Continue reading →

Stand Out Digital Frames

Digital frames are all the rage these days—-and not just with grandparents who live far away from their precious grandbabies. The readily available photo frames can be loaded with dozens of digital images and provide hours of uninterrupted viewing for snap happy parents and other family members. One digital frame in particular has received high marks, especially for its ease of use (which is quite a compliment given some of the confusing functions featured on some digital photo frames). Photo experts recently voted Kodak’s EasyShare EX1011 digital photo frame as one of the best on the market. While other digital … Continue reading →

Working Around the Disadvantages of Wireless Digital Photo Frames

In my previous blog I provided a laundry list of advantages that come with owning a wireless digital photo frame. If you live in a high tech home your wireless digital photo frame likely acts as an extra monitor in addition to your TV, your computer and your cellphone. For about $100 to $200 you not only get a place to view your favorite digital photos, but also if you want to see the weather forecast, the scores from last night’s football game or view how your stocks are doing—presto! You simply press a button on your frame and the … Continue reading →

Other Things You Need to Know Before You Buy a Digital Photo Frame for Mother’s Day

In my previous blog I mentioned that digital photo frames are the hot ticket item this Mother’s Day. In that post I also discussed sizes, price points, and provided a list of the top sellers. However, there are a few more points your should be aware of prior to presenting one of these picture perfect gifts to the favorite women in your life. TOUCH CONTROLS Designers at Kodak say in an effort to do away with remote controls with barely-there buttons they created the “Quick Touch Border” and added it to two frames (so far).

What You Need to Know Before You Buy a Digital Photo Frame for Mother’s Day

According to the cashier at my local Kohl’s department store, digital photo frames are the hottest buy this Mother’s Day. (The woman in front of me in line was purchasing one for her mom hence the info from the store employee.) I believe it. In fact, I wasn’t at all surprised by the claim given that just this past Sunday Circuit City held digital photo frame demonstrations at its stores nationwide. And it’s not just Mother’s Day. People are snatching them up to give as graduation gifts, for Father’s Day, birthdays and as wedding presents. So what do you need … Continue reading →

A Digital Camera for Serious Shooters

I’ve spent much of the week reviewing digital cameras designed for photographers like myself—-the serious amateur shooter. The type of person, who doesn’t shy away from the title of snap happy parent, but who is not able to make a living off of her photo skills (yet anyway). Never mind that I am not able to generate a viable income from my photography, I can’t even afford to buy professional grade photo equipment. Luckily I am friends with multiple professional photographers who are kind enough to allow me to experiment with their expensive equipment. (Hence this blog.) My latest “victim” … Continue reading →
