Digital photo frames are perfect gifts for any occasion, but you need to make sure that you are buying one that delivers. Eight inch digital photo frames make wonderful gifts since they’re large enough to see the photos, but small enough so that they’ll fit nearly anywhere. Here’s a review of 8-inch digital photo frames and which ones are worth the money.
What to Look For in a Digital Photo Frame
First of all, let’s go over what you should look for in an 8-inch digital photo frame. You should never buy one of these that are over $100. That’s way too expensive. Generally, these should be around $60 to $80 at the most.
Now, look for ones that do double duty. They should either be able to play MP3s, or they should at least act as a clock/calendar. This will be occupying space, which means that it should do more than simply show your pictures. The ones that play MP3s are really nice since it will give your photo slideshow some background music.
The final thing to consider is capacity. Your digital photo frame should have a lot of internal memory, or it should have memory card slots or a USB (universal serial bus) drive.
