Best Digital Photo Frame For Under £50?

lfc4ever

Looking to buy one for an Xmas pressy.

Not very good with technology and completley unsure which ones are the best to buy!

Would prefer one from amazon as I have £20 worth of vouchers.

Thanks for your help:D

Hello. We bought one from boots. 7inch for £45. also had 500 points free. and because we bought it on the xmas shopping day, when we spent £50 we also got 1000 extra points. so thats £15 worth of points!!

We did the same with boots - the one we bought was reduced from £90 to £45 then we got the extra points - well worth it!:j

Be careful - there have been cases where digital photo frames come with a trojan/virus.

I have been doing some research on this and have seen a lot of reviews from people who have brought cheaper frames that end up having lower resolution.

If your budget can possibly stretch to 80quid then this one has very good reviews:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DPFD70B-Black-Digital-Photo/dp/B0013K533U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1225958033&sr=1-2

It is number two in the Amazon best-seller list and retails at most stores for 100quid. It has 800x480 resolution which is much higher than most of the cheaper ones. Many of the cheaper ones do not even list the resolution which in my opinion is the most important factor.

I think that this is one area where you do get what you pay for, and if you can afford a little more for a higher resolution and something with good reviews for useability and connectivity then you will be much happier with the product.

Thanks for all your replies guys. I would quite like a decent brand one and could stretch to about £60. Saw this one on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0015IZ3MQ/ref=ord_cart_shr as i would prefer to buy from there. What so you think?!

It's pretty low resolution 480x234. How about something like:

8" and 800x600 for £59.99.

A bit OT but is this Digital Photo Album Key Ring even worth the £8 something as a quirky stockfiller or is the screen quality too poor? http://www.grabitnow.com/ecamp/daily

I'm keeping an eye open for one too; but bear in mind there are other factors beside screen resolution - stuff like:-

Does it have battery power, so that I can carry it around?
Does it have its own memory or do I need a memory card?
Can pics be shown in portrait and landscape orientation?
Etc
