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 →

Affordable Digital Cameras

They might not have big names like Sony, Nikon, Canon or Kodak, but they also don’t come with the big price tags either.

The Concord 6340z digital camera features a 3x optical zoom plus a 4x digital zoom, a macro feature allowing you to take pictures as close as 2 inches, and … Continue reading →

Playing With Digital Prints

Digital photography has stepped miles and miles away from where it was, only a mere four or five years ago. It is light years ahead of where many ever saw it going. And while I am convinced that film is never going to go out, I recognize the changes that warrant digital to never leave either. So with all of the upgrades and advances in our digital technology, what things can you do with digital that was more difficult with film? First, film prints had to be scanned into the computer and then sent wherever you wanted them. Digital photos … Continue reading →

Scrapbooking Made Easy

Creating a cohesive and attractive wall of framed photos is like trying to build a puzzle without a guide.
