Who doesn’t have a digital picture frame these days? Steve in Waterford, MI is a new initiate…
I was introduced to Digital Picture Frames this Christmas when my daughter and her husband gave my wife and I a small Digital Picture Frame. Having said that, I have purchased a 4 gig card and will start to fill that up for my wife to display in our living room.
My hobby is photography and I have a have a Nikon D200 and a load of lenses. The D200 is a 10.2 megapixel camera. I generally shoot both RAW and JPG fine images and that way I don’t have to run a time consuming conversion program later when I distribute the pictures to friends and relatives. My JPG fine files are roughly 6mb.
Have said this, I am now trying to do some research on larger screen size and higher resolution Picture Frames. I like the fact that many of these frames take memory cards, but I am wondering if someone makes a frame that would accept an external USB HD like the Western Digital Passport. I am thinking I might like a frame in the 15″-19″ size that will display high resolution and I see there are some out there. I have not found many reviews on these units to date and being new to this, I am a bit confused. I am told LCD is the way to go.
There are many times when friends visit us, and we want to show them our pictures. I would really like to show them on the TV in the living room. I have done this before but the clarity is not good. We generally drag out our laptop and external hard drives. The screen on our laptop is only 14″, but is has a fairly sharp LCD screen.
Sometime in the near future we will no doubt upgrade our living room TV to a flat screen. We can probably handle about 32″ in the cabinet we have. We have a Plazma flat screen in the bedroom running HD and also a dish running HD in the rec. room. Are we better off focusing our attention on a new TV that will display high resolution images than to look at a high resolution digital picture frame for this application?
With that said, I am still interested in a larger digital photo album (8×10 to 15″ possibly) we can leave in the living room to display our Nikon high-res photos…………family, friends, hobbies, etc. What do you recommend in a high picture quality digital photo album?
