It’s difficult to view your digital photos on the small screens of most digital cameras. And, if you want to share photos with friends, gathering around the camera’s small screen or dragging out a laptop to create a slide show aren’t very elegant options. The solution: A digital photo frame. After market survery, it’s found that the most inexpensive and common digital photo frame size is 7″, which lastly five names are in the list by Geardigest. They are Kodak’s EasyShare SV710, Pandigital’s 7-inch Photo Frame, Philips’ 7FF1CM1, Smartpart’s Portable Picture And Video Player, and Westinghouse’s DPF-702.

The four frames not labeled by Philips all featured a similar 16:9 display with a paltry 480 x 234 resolution, and while a few offered niceties not found elsewhere (Kodak’s PictBridge, for instance), all of the devices were decent at best in terms of image quality — and they all ranged from $119 to $129.95 in price. Handily snagging the gold was the $199 7FF1CM1, which upped the ante with a 720 x 480 panel and proved worthwhile if you actually want your photos to shine. But hey, it’s still your dough, so do your duty and dive into the full review below before swaying one way or another.
