Digital Picture Frames

Late last year I started to sift my entire collection of digital images in a search for a particular print project I had in mind. At the moment I have about 400 candidates which is far too many for printing. It has occurred to me that a digital picture frame may be a suitable answer. My last experience of digital frames was in the days when they were relatively new and I was not left with a good impression. They would not hold many images. Nor could they access much memory from a USB memory stick if one was plugged in. Above all, they were shortlived. Each one died after only a few months. My question is, are they any better now? If any one has any recent experience, good, bad or indifferent, I would like to know what it was. I'm looking for a 10"~12" screen with a good dynamic range and a colour gamut at least as large as sRGB. Is there such a thing? I was given one as a gift a few years back but did not care too much for it so I passed it on. Now they have computers "on a stick" that you can plug into actually decent monitors and do what you want. If you aren't familiar with them just Google the price is low |

FWIW - my solution would be an apropriately sized HD TV (check for HDMI port) and a Raspberry Pi. There are even kits to attach to Pi to the back side of the TV. |

So I queried the posted image using the Exif tab on the Firefox tool bar and it comes up with "Sony DSC-F505" with a tab which linked to DPReview at http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscf505/ The image certainly seems to think it is the product of an F505. So then I went to*my* photograph of *my* camera which I used when I eventually sold it. See https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...3/_DSC1813.jpg It clearly isn't the same as the one shown in DPReview link for the F505. So I went to DPReview on the subject of the F707 and there was a picture http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscf707/ which is but a different view of mine. So Sony got their firmware data wrong when they made the F707. I wonder how many other times this kind of thing has happened? I've never heard of it before. What may have happened on this occasion may have stemmed from the fact that the F707 was a development of the F505. It may be they took a whole block of code from the F505's ROM and planted it without further checking in that for the F707. But still ... Makes you think about the possible problems of building fully autonomous cars. :-) -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

So - when you can't answer my original question, you change the question. i did no such thing. old laptops make for a perfect digital picture frame since they're not useful for much anymore and the display is larger than an ipad, which is *exactly* what you asked for. as usual, you are arguing just to argue. |
