How to display family digital photos without printing them

digital photo frameDigital cameras are everywhere. Even cell phones can be used to snap photos.

The side effect of this amazing technology is we don’t have the chance to display the photos – each and every one of them.

Reasons?

1) Too lazy to send them for printing.

2) Don’t know which pictures to print. I have hundreds of them, if not thousands.

To be fair, even though we’d have printed them all, where do we hang them? Our little house has definitely insufficient space. Never mind about the costs.

Worry not, there’s a solution. We can solve this by using one of the many digital photo frames.

You upload a collection of digital photos to the memory of the digital photo frame. The pictures are displayed automatically and changed based on a time interval set by you.

Isn’t that cool? Now you can display all your photos with just one photo frame.

A quick check at Amazon.com reveals that the price range is from $70 to $200. Sounds expensive but this seems like a more practical solution.

Not only that, digital photo frame makes a perfect gift too.

  That is just way too cool. I LOVE it and am going to go and buy one. I love having the photos on a rotating screen saver but at the computer in my office is not where I always want to share our family pics!!!!!

  Yes, these are a great idea but my husband (who's much more tech-savvy than I am) has looked into it and concluded that the digital frames at the lower end of the price spectrum just aren't of good quality. We're waiting for prices to come down - but in the meantime, if anyone has a recommendation for a lower-priced frame that's reliable, works with common memory sticks, and has a high-quality picture, I'd love to hear it!

  Please consider that an electronic frame, running 24/7, will impact on your electricity bill. Smarter ones have proximity sensors and switch on/off timers.
