Hey, I was just wondering if anyone uses digital photo frames, or is planning to buy one? My brother told me the other day that he ordered an 8 inch one, and it'll be interesting to see what he thinks about it.
One thing I really miss from film photography is just the ability to pick up an album or prints and flick through it. I suppose I could fire up Irfanview or a similar image viewer and browse through a slideshow, but (1) I need to be in front of my computer, and (2) it's very daunting to face folders upon folders containing thousands of photos. Nothing quite like picking up our "Vacation to Fiji" album and then leafing through the pages. Anyway, I digress.
The photo frames seem to be coming down in price - I've seen 7 inch ones as cheap as $120 AUD around here, and it's tempting to buy one just to see how it integrates into our picture viewing habits. It would be kinda cool to have your photo collection randomly displaying away on your coffee table...
Do you think your home would benefit from one?
