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. These days the digital camera market has grown to accommodate lower-priced brands whose products can compete with the big boys of photography.

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 →

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.

Getting to Know Your Camera

My parents are about as technologically inept as they come. Believe me; to them, that’s a compliment. When it came time for my mom and dad to finally trash their Kodak camera (circa 1972) and learn how to use a 21st century digital camera, they were far from happy. My mom especially has a hard time embracing change, so it’s no surprise that she refused to shoot with anything other than the most rudimentary digital camera on the market. She got a basic digital camera, but instead of keeping her finger on the shutter button only, she would randomly push … Continue reading →
