these type of digital photo frames were reviewed on the gasdjet show recently and as far as i remember they got quite poor reviews ... all price ranges ...

Assumption alone, as it looked the same!. Now I know that to assume makes an !!! out of u and me, so I should probably know better.

I thought it would be a good gift for my parents, as they are high tech types, and would love this kind of thing. I would happily accept any advise from others who already have one, to know if they are worth it or not?

It's an 'Iplay' (never heard of them) but 50 quid is a good price for it.

Well, I bought the one on Amazon for £49.99 couple months ago. I would say picture quality is not mind-blowing but is of an acceptable standard.

I have just purchased the same one again, this will be for my desk at work. I am happy with the product.

Excuse my naivity but does it have a built in card, or do you have to use the one from your camera?

Can they also store a moving picture? like a christmas wish from their granddaughter?

found this thread whilst researching digital photo frames...
I too want to buy one as present for the parents
have a couple of questions..

Can you only load photos by inserting a SD (or other) card? or can you link the frame up to a PC via USB cable ? Because the ATMT frame on Amazon says it comes with a usb cable so I'm wondering what that's for?

If its only with a card then is there anyway you can load pictures onto a card from a PC (so I wouldn't have to keep sending SD cards to the parents - I would be able to email them photos and they could load onto cards?)

Hope you see where I'm coming from - not very tech savy!:o

I use my archos 7" mp4 player. It holds 1000's of pics.I took it to a framers & got a detachable frame made up.Its far better than what you can buy in shops at present
