Digital picture frames
Not exactly travel related, but I know someone in this forum has the answer I need.
Are the number of images shown in a Digital Picture (Photo) Frame only limited bt the size of the CF card you use?
Are their any of these DPFs that can be mounted directly on the wall?
I have checked Cnet and several other sites and am actually more confused than when I started looking.
Thanks for your help

Usually when they give a size in the ads or specs it's the size the internalmemory can hold. Of course, that depends on how large the pictures are, if youshrink them to the size ofthe frame,it can hold lots more then if they are uncompressed huge images.

Yes; the number of photos it will hold depends on the size of memory card inserted.
I got a cheap(ish) one last year and it does have a wall mount slot, and I know most of the Philips ones do too (Philips makes the best ones IMHO).

Mine will mount on wall easy but the dang cord makes it ugly.

Still has the cord right? The biggest issue for me is that I didn't find one with a battery, I didn't look too hard however. I just had a day of shopping in the mainland and was limited to what was in stock. So I guess do they make battery powered frames or just corded?

A small piece of low profile conduit might make it look a little nicer, but I agree that it still isn't perfect.

I have the phillips 9", which is really only 8", which pissed me off. It was a bit more than others, but it has battery 800x600 resolution, takes all cards, looks nice and has some additional transition features the others don't.
I am also a fan of the ceiva offerings, but not for personal use. I can do all the stuff myself or with a memory card, but for grandparents or other non-techie types, the ceivas are very nice. And, they just released new larger frames with cheaper prices and service plans.
the phillips can be had for about 200$ or a bit less now, for the 8" frames.

I was just keeping up to date, I thought they were still far away from having a good frame with long battery life. I will give the phillips a look however. Basically for me it's OK, for my non tech parents it's a pain in the rear. But they just put it on the end table or shelf and go from there.
