FrameChannel support issues ; wide screen not ideal for photos ; frame attracts fingerprints

The Toshiba DMF82XKU 8-inch Digital Media Frame is a decent photo-viewing choice for Picasa, Facebook, and Flickr fans, but the overall package could use some polish and probably a firmware update.

Affordable ; attractive design ; decent image quality ; support for video and MP3 playback ; 512MB of built-in memory ; accepts all popular memory card formats and USB connections ; built-in clock with calendar and alarm

Could be more user-friendly ; frame attracts fingerprints ; screen is too reflective ; no bundled remote

Viewsonic's 8-inch DPG807 has a lot of positives, including decent image quality, an attractive design, and a couple of nice extras--but some quirks hold it back from a higher rating.

Good LCD ; straightforward operation ; internal rechargeable battery

Limited features ; no SDHC support

Though it's not packed with features, the Jobo PDJ801--and near identical PDJ800--is a good photo frame with the bonus of rechargeable battery power.

Three Internet connection options; can be managed completely by remote; good customer service

The Ceivalife digital photo frame and its complementary service push past simple picture viewing into the realm of Internet appliances--for better or worse.

The Kodak EasyShare 7-inch Digital Photo Frame P720 is a basic photo frame that's designed to be relatively affordable and easy to use, but as you might expect from an entry-level frame, its image quality is pretty mediocre. It's worth the extra money ...

Simple interface ; fast photo processing ; good price-to-performance ratio

Limited memory card and file format support ; only 8MB of internal memory ; middling display quality

It may be no-frills, but Hannspree's SD7021 7-inch digital photo frame is a bit better than its budget price would indicate.

Relatively large screen area ; solid display quality ; built-in Wi-Fi ; zippy performance ; easy to set up ; supports MP3 and video playback

Cheap plastic frame ; no remote ; Mac owners can't wirelessly connect to their computers

Kodak may have cut some corners on the build quality of the EasyShare W1020 Wireless Digital Frame, but it offers decent image quality, performance, and a strong feature set for the money.
