What made you decide to get one, peeaanuut? I think they're cute, but the price makes me go, "Whaaa?" Maybe I'm old skool, but viewing pix in an album (or even my cell phone) seems cheaper and just as effective. What am I missing?
Originally Posted By peeaanuut well the cost of printing out photos even at home can get taxing. Especially at the number of photos that I take (750 a baseball game average, over 3000 when I hit disneyland). I like viewing them on the TV or computer screen. The other option I have is to get a 15" lcd and plug it into a dvd player that plays .jpg files (with the help of an adapter of course)

If you're actually wanting to view all of them, it sounds like the digi frame would be the way to go. I don't get all of my photos printed anymore either. Usually I just pick the best half dozen or so and have those printed at Costco. I think it's like 17 cents a print now and you can upload them from home to pick up in an hour. If that's not convenient, I have one of those 4x6 photo quality printers too, but that runs more like 30-40 cents a sheet, so it has to be a real photo emergency to get me to pull that thing out!
Originally Posted By peeaanuut I have a 13x19 photo printer, an 8x10 photo printer and a 4x6 photo printer so printing at home I know can get costly, but is good when I sell some of them. I was also thinking of doing the screensaver for the computer but my computer is in my room and that is off limits to everyone (unless they are doing my laundry). So my search for a solution to showing them out in the living room led me to this thought. I just have to find a decent one.
