Best Digital Photo Frames

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 connects directly to Flickr 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. Also see the list of best digital frames under $100.

This digital frame is the ultimate choice, and it comes with every bell and whistle available. It includes 256MB of internal memory, which is nice when so many digital frames have no internal memory at all. It also can be connected to your wireless network through wi-fi and interact with popular photo sharing sites like Webshots, Flickr and Windows LiveSpaces. It can display images with file formats of .jpg, .png, .bmp and .gif, as well as mp3, wma and wmv files. You can play a slideshow with audio as well. It also features a card reader.

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.

The cool feature of this digital frame is the ability to program certain pictures to appear by date. It also features 512MB of internal memory, accepts memory cards, and you can add movies or music. This also serves as an alarm clock.

With a large 11-inch display and one of the larger internal memory capacities of 1GB, this is a fine choice for a digital picture frame. You also have several options for loading images and video onto the frame, either via USB directly from the camera or camcorder, by jump drive or by most memory card formats. It also doubles as an mp3 player, and you can watch slideshows, or zoom and rotate photos in the frame itself.

5. Coby DP-882 8" Digital Picture Frame with mp3 Player
