digital picture frame Tests (P. 5/5)

"i-mate Momento 100"

Issue: 8/2007

On test: i-mate Momento 100

With its Apple-like plastic styling, this digital picture frame looks exactly as you might expect a digital picture frame to look, but it does have the decency to cram in some less predictable features. First up, there's 802.11b/g WiFi, allowing you to load pictures from your PC over a wireless network. If you're running Windows Media Player 11 (whether in XP or Vista), it'll also integrate with the Media Sharing feature, picking up items in the library on any networked PC. → More

Published on: 6/2007

On test: Kodak Easyshare EX1011

"The KODAK EX1011 will enhance your life while beautifying your home.” Well, not really, I mean come on, it's a digital photo frame not a life change or a visit from Changing Rooms. The idea is simple - load your pics onto a digital frame and they can change every few minutes or seconds or whatever. Why show off a single image when you can run a slideshow? → More

"I-mate Momento digital photo frame"

On test: i-mate Momento 100

The new Momento from I-mate is a digital photo frame that attempts to tick more boxes than ever before when it comes to features. → More

"Linx Ality digital photo frame"

Published on: 6/2007

On test: Linx Ality 8" Digital Photo Frame

When digital photo frames first arrived they were seen as an expensive luxury item and were fairly limited in what they could do. As well benefiting from a much-needed drop in price, the latest frames now offer a host of additional features that, in some cases, reduce photo playback to almost a secondary purpose. The new Linx Ality range, the 8in model of which we have on test here, is one of the most feature-packed we've seen. → More

"i-Mate Momento 100"

Published on: 6/2007

On test: i-mate Momento 100

Digital picture frames are fast becoming the rage, but while it's one thing to get your images on to the frame via a memory card, what you really want is to be able to download your images via a Wi-Fi connection across the web without even being in the room. Imagine the brilliance of coming down in the morning to see a new picture of your grand daughter - or for the younger readers - your mate passed out in the street from a drinking session the night before. i-Mate Momento 100 digital picture frame promises just that and a range of other connectivity options including setting up an RSS as well as allowing you to MMS or even email a message to your frame once you've signed up to the company's website. → More

"Parrot Photo Viewer 7"

Issue: 7/2007

On test: Parrot 7in Bluetooth Photo Viewer

If you saw the first Parrot Photo Viewer when it was released this time last year, you'll notice that all the niggles have been hidden away in a cupboard for the latest seven-inch version. There's an on/off button for starters now, and when you turn the device off, the pretty images are replaced with a digital clock. → More

"AG Neovo FotoVivo V10 7in Digital Photo Frame"

Published on: 5/2007

On test: AG Neovo V10

A fair few among us here at TrustedReviews are big fans of Channel 4 show Grand Designs, regularly tuning in to look on incredulously as people spend hundreds of thousands of pounds in pursuit of their dream homes. We also like to shout – or rather I like to shout – at the TV disclaiming I’d do better if only I could afford to buy a house. In which case, I’ll find out in about thirty years time. If I were to have my own Grand Design I can say now that, among the other gadgetry paraphernalia that would inevitably ensue, the FotoVivo V10 Digital Photo Frame would fit in very nicely. It’s an award winning design, and once unwrapped one can easily see why. → More

"AG Neovo V-10 digital photo frame"

Published on: 5/2007

On test: AG Neovo V10

A neat solution to a digital problem, the AG Neovo V-10 is a stylish and well-built digital photo frame. Necessity is the mother of invention, or so the saying goes. We reckon it may also have something to do with laziness. Digital cameras have been around for 10 years or so, and in that time we’ve met only a handful of people who regularly print off their photos. So it seems inevitable that the evolution of our favourite media would upscale itself directly into the 21st century with digital frames such as the AG Neovo V-10, where pictures can be uploaded to the frame by USB directly from the image source or via a memory card. → More

"Philips 9FF2CWO digital photo frame"

Published on: 5/2007

On test: Philips 9FF2CWO

The Philips 9FF2CWO is a decent, if expensive, example of a digital photo frame. Digital cameras have been around for about 10 years, and in that time we’ve met only a handful of people who regularly print off their photos. So it seems inevitable that the evolution of our favourite media would upscale itself directly into the 21st century with digital frames, where pictures can be uploaded to the frame by USB directly from the image source or via a memory card. Here we have a fine exponent of this new gadget trend: the Philips 9FF2CWO. → More

"i-Mate Momento digital photo frame"

Published on: 5/2007

On test: i-mate Momento 100

If you're tempted by the idea of showing off your photos in a neat, eyecatching way, the choice is a no-brainer. The i-Mate Momento is an excellent digital photo frame. → More

"AG Neovo AV10"

Issue: 6/2007

On test: AG Neovo V10

AG Neovo's 7in AV10 is a neat digital photo frame. It has 128MB of memory and can also read pictures from CompactFlash or SD memory cards. → More

"Philips Photo Frame"

Issue: 6/2007

On test: Philips Photo Frame 9FF2M4

We're not even going to begin to try to justify the need for, or complain about the wanton pointlessness of, an electronic photo frame. Either you want one- or you don't - and Philips thinks you do. → More

Digital photos are now established as the norm in the consumer market, and thanks to the versatility of digital media you'll find you can do far more with your snaps. One popular addition to the digital photographer's arsenal is a digital photo frame, which typically allows you to create rolling slideshows of a collection or simply show off your favourite photos. Frames vary from providing this basic functionality to offering a range of additional support and features, so we thought we'd have a look at the current market to see how they compare. → More

"Summit 7 inch Photo Frame"

Issue: 4/2007

On test: Summit 7" Digital Photo Frame

This 7in digital photo frame from Summit has quite an unusual widescreen format which doesn't fit the 3:2 or 4:3 ratio of most digital cameras. → More

"Philips 9FF2CWO"

Issue: 4/2007

On test: Philips 9FF2CWO

With the rise of digital photography, it was only a matter of time before the digital photo frame was rolled out, like this 9in one from Philips.

"Parrot 7in Bluetooth Photo Viewer"

Published on: 2/2007

On test: Parrot 7in Bluetooth Photo Viewer

Just like buses, photo viewers seem to come in twos. Barely a week has passed since I looked at the 9in Philips Photo Frame, and though I admired the features and the quality, you had to pay a premium to enjoy them. Today we have a 7in Bluetooth Photo Viewer from Parrot to look at, and late last year Benny reviewed the original Parrot Bluetooth Photo Viewer. It was a commendable effort at the time, but it had a prohibitively high price and lacked a number of fundamental features. Has Parrot learned from its mistakes? → More

"Philips 9in Digital Photo Frame 9FF2M4"

Published on: 2/2007

On test: Philips Photo Frame 9FF2M4

One of the beauties of digital photography is the flexibility it gives you. Gone are the days when you routinely went to Boots to have your photos developed; in are the days when you can share photos online, share them via mobile phone and edit them to your heart's content. There are times, however, when having a more traditional way of displaying your photos is preferable – just ask your grandmother. Short of actually printing photos, a digital photo frame is a great way of displaying pictures in a more visible manner. Philips has been one of the pioneers in this market, and its photo frame range comes in seven and nine inch varieties with a choice of modern or wooden finishes. We have the nine inch modern version to review today, and aesthetically you can immediately appreciate the quality of the product. → More

"Parrot Bluetooth Photo Viewer"

Published on: 10/2006

On test: Parrot Photo Viewer

The photo frame of the 21st century isn’t a boring, static device that can only show a single picture. The connected home now has a digital LCD photo frame that can display many pictures one after the other. The likes of Sony and Philips have had these sorts of displays out for a while and read pictures from a memory card. Parrot’s frame has no card slots at all - instead you beam your pictures to it via Bluetooth, without any need for cables or cards. → More

On test: Philips 7FF1 AW

Just as digital cameras have replaced their 35mm variants, so the humble photo frame is under threat from going digital, but should it be something that you embrace or run from? We take a closer look at the Philips Digital Photo Display 7FF1AW. → More
