It is my parents diamond wedding soon, I am thinking of buying them a digital photo frame and loading it up with family pics.
As they are aged 88/89 and not too good with technology, or fiddly little buttons, it needs to be easy to use - ideally plug in / switch on and go.
I have been looking around at specs,
Can an anybody recommend one please?
I am hoping for -
8" screen
800x600 resolution
random play
no setting up - must remember settings when switched on
plays photos from switch on
price up to £50

My sons bought this one for their grandparents from Jessops for Christmas. They all seem to have small buttons and too many options for calendars and such, but once set up will randomly play and just need to be switched on at the plug wall socket, which is what my parents do. However they did need someone to just set it up for them the first time.
Hope that helps.0 -

Thanks! that looks a good one, cheaper than I was expecting too! I can set it up so no problem there. Reading the reviews --- it doesn't seen to do random play. But its still high on my list right now - Thanks0 -
not on the high street have some really cute digital cameras. I bought one to gift my kids too. You just need to find one right in your budget and shop with cashback to save more. Good Luck! Worth peeping at Amazon too..0

Digital photo frames do not take photographs - they just display them. Here is an example :

Look for some on Amozon or Ebay or Newegg.
there are reviews there for each product.
So that will help you decide which one to choose.0
