With digital photography being so easily accessible for the average user through ever more powerful mobile phone cameras and ever smaller digital cameras there is usually someone with you who can take a photo of any moment of the day. These photos quite often are shared with family, friends and the rest of the world via photo sharing and social network sites such as Flickr, Picasa and Facebook. Most of the photos are the type that you view once, they make you smile and you move on. But then there are those great photos that invoke a memory or are just so good visually that you want to have them on display. This is where digital photo frames with the wifi wireless options come in.
Non wifi enabled digital photo frames require that you update the pictures for your frame by copying photos to a memory card or connecting it to a computer via a usb cable. Some wifi enabled digital photo frames can be connected directly to social network sites and photo sharing sites so you can view your own, as well as your friends photo galleries from your digital photo frame without the need of a computer.
The Kodak Pulse range allows you to show slide shows of photos stored on a Kodak Gallery online account as well as galleries on Facebook. When your friends add photos to Facebook you can allow them to be displayed on your pulse photo frame as well. In case a friend decides to post an embarrassing picture of you to your photo frame which your family may see first, your be pleased to hear that you only get notification that new pictures are available. You have the opportunity to choose which images are displayed, thankfully!
Digital Photo Frames with E-mail
Some digital photo frames can have their own e-mail address such as the Nextbase photo m@il digital photo frames and the Kodak Pulse. This allows friends and relatives to e-mail their pictures straight to your photo frame. Though, again, you can review the photos before they are displayed in case they are not suitable for all eyes.
Digital Photo Frames for Private Networking
Other photo frames such as the Samsung SPF-85V and the Polaroid CPU 0105B use wifi to connect to your computer allowing you to directly access the photo's on you hard drive. This means you are no longer limited by the size of the memory card plugged in to your photo frame. Your slide show can be thousands of pictures long and constantly updating as you download pictures from your digital camera.
Multi Media Digital Photo frames
The Toshiba Journe range are more like tablet computers as they have touch screens and can access photos on Flickr and Picasa photo sharing websites, They can also view videos on YouTube and receive RSS streaming content such as news and weather.
Go Wireless
So if you and your friends like to share photos online or you have thousands of photos on your computer so you find memory cards a bit limiting a digital photo frame with wifi could be a great and convenient option for you.
