Pros: Good size, Bright screen, Easy to use, Includes a remote control
Cons: Only 128 mb built-in memory, Doesn't play other file formats aside from JPEG, Limited viewing time per image

If you're in search for a decent frame at a fairly good price point, picking the ViewSonic VFD1027W-11 would be a smart decision. It cannot play videos and music like more expensive frames but it can hold all your pictures in one place while taking up lesser space than usual. The 10.2" Anti-glare color TFT LCD display has great viewing angles and excellent color, and the frame itself is easy to operate, even for non-techie people. At the back of the unit, you will find menu controls, a mini USB port, a USB 2.0 port, a 5-in-1 card reader and an on and off switch that lets you save energy when the frame is not in use. Due to the fact that its internal memory only has a 128 mb capacity, you will definitely need an additional card so that you can store a huge amount of images. The good thing is that it is widely compatible with different types of media cards including SD, MS, MS Pro, SDHC and MMC. You can also use your thumb drive as your main storage. While the frame enables you to choose from a number of viewing time for each photo, we would appreciate more options or better yet, a manual setting wherein you can set your desired time interval per image shown. On the other hand, the VFD1027W-11 comes supplied with a remote control which allows you to make slideshows and control the frame from your bed or couch without the need to get up. It also has calendar and clock features and it offers excellent placement flexibility as you can let it sit in your desk using the removable stand or display it on your wall through the mounting holes. In summary, aside from having a modern yet homely design that will no doubt fit in with the rest of your decor, its bright, vivid screen, good size and the ease of use that it provides make it a pleasant surprise.

Pros: Excellent picture quality, Multiple viewing options, Easy to use, 2GB onboard memory, Modern design
Cons: A bit expensive

The ability to play MP3 files and AVCHD and MP4 movies, in addition to viewing your photos, greatly increases the usefulness of most digital photo frames today. The Sony DPF-XR100, although a bit expensive, is a great solution if you want to de-clutter your home and keep all your cherished moments in one handy place. First off, picture quality is first-rate with sharp and vibrant images, thanks to the 10.2" high contrast LCD with TruBlack technology. It also has a 1024 x 600 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio perfect for wide-angle viewing and it lets you view your Sweep Panorama photos. Rotating your images into landscape or portrait format is made hassle-free with the frame's Auto Orientation sensor. The ease of setup is remarkable too, requiring only a mini USB cord to transfer all your photos from your PC to your frame. An HDMI output is also available for easy viewing of HD movies on your HDTV. In contrast with cheaper models, it comes with a 2GB onboard memory which is more than enough if you're not planning to save more than 4000 photos, but if you find yourself needing more, you can always use your USB thumb drive or various kinds of memory cards including SD, SDHC, xD, CF MS and MS Duo memory cards. The modern and slim design of the Sony DPF-XR100 makes it quite the conversation piece. Its stand is very sturdy so there's no worry that the frame is in constant danger of tipping over. The Sony backlit logo can even be turned on or off, depending on your own preference. Aside from being a complete media hub, the DPF-XR100 also functions as a calendar and an alarm clock which add a real level of functionality to the frame.

Pros: Sleek and compact design, Supports video and music playback, Large internal memory, Affordable
Cons: Dust- and fingerprint-magnet

The 8-inch Sony DPF-HD800 lets you share your stunning portraits and at the same time, take advantage of video and music playback at a fraction of the cost of higher-end digital photo frames. Supported video formats are AVCHD, MP4, Motion-JPEG and 1920 X 1080/60p videos. It also permits playback of audio formats such as WAV, AAC and mp3. Housed in a sleek black frame with a backlit Sony logo, the DPF-HD800 can be a real headturner. It may be prone to dust and fingerprint smudges, though. On the other hand, the frame has a multi auto timer which allows you to set the time when you want the frame to turn on or off. LED backlighting also offers reduced power consumption. You can even throw away your old clock or calendar as it can show the current date along with the time. The 2GB internal memory can hold up to 4000 photos and 40 songs and is easily expandable. There are multi-card slots suitable for use with SD, SDHC, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Duo memory cards and a USB slot for your flash drive. A thumbnail index view enables easy scrolling through hundreds of pictures and an auto image rotation feature means that you don't have to worry if you're photo will be displayed correctly. You can also add transition effects to your images to make them more fun and enjoyable to look at. Sony understands that a new gadget can be intimidating to non-techie users, which is why, transferring your photos is as straightforward as it gets. Just connect the frame using the included mini USB cord to your PC then you can store all the photo albums you want. Digital photo frames like the Sony DPF-HD800 are also a good way to free up valuable shelf space and be more organized. Instead of lying around your house in boxes, your images are displayed in brilliant and crisp quality with its 800 x 480 resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. On top of all these, it has advanced features all packed into an affordable and compact body.
