Before I begin, what is a digital Frame? According to Wikipedia.com a digital frame (also called digital media frame) is a picture frame that displays photos in a digital form without the need to print them or use a computer. In essence Digital photo frames are devices that are just about the size and shape of an ordinary traditional picture frame. They contain an LCD screen, which displays multiple photos in a slow or rapid slideshow depending on user settings. Why own one? A digital frame is a good idea for anyone who's tired of seeing the same old lineup of photos on the mantel; hate the cost of photography or the cost of buying and processing films every month. Or simple for those who just genuinely love new technology and wish to give it as a gift or use it for business gains.

One of the first Reasons to own a Digital Frame is:

(1) Save on Photography Fees

Over the years the cost of Photography has gradually but steadily gone down. This began with the digital camera's revolution that dramatically cut down the fees photography companies charge per page printing. Take for example the picture frame and the gradual conversion to the digital frame. That was the final blow the photography companies received. The digital photo frame completely replaced the traditional frame and totally eliminated films processing and paper printing. However, the digital frame due to its novelty still hasn't penetrated deep into picture's world, a lot of people are still skeptical about its uses and functions.

(2) Affordable Prices

Digital Photo Frames are among the most inexpensive electronic/digital gadgets today. However, it is important to realize that when digital frame technology first arrived it was not affordable for the average earner. But due to its rapid acceptance among people, more companies began manufacturing their own brands; this forced the prices to go down. For example an 8 inch digital frame which sold from anywhere between $400 -$600, can now be purchased at really low prices ranging from $65 - $120 depending on added functionality or Brand type. The price-ranges today are so convenient and with the current economy everyone would appreciate a couple of bucks saved.

(3) The Perfect Gift

If You are Looking for the right gift to give to anyone for any occasion, well search no more. Digital photo frames are great gift ideas because you can make them even greater with just little effort. They are as unique and special as a gift can get, their personalized option allow you to customize your gift to suit your gift receiver specific desires or needs. They are perfect for weddings just take pictures at the celebration and load them into a digital frame for a treasured gift for the happy couple. Have an Anniversary coming up? Want a Valentine's Day special Gift? How about a musical slideshow consisting of a couple from dating to the current date, Or perhaps a series of photos of loving times shared together.

The Wireless Digital Frame is the best gift For Those Who Serve in the Military and Their Loved Ones too. What better mementos of life back "home" than a digital frame with slide shows of family and loved ones? Furthermore, it is very important when our service people and their families are stationed far away that they are still able to share their lives with their families back home. You could even get one as a gift for yourself for personal uses like Personal Motivational pictures (slide shows of your dream house, car, boat...); solve the Problem of Which In-Law to Display In Your Home! Use it as a Wall Decoration or even for business Slide Presentations.

(4) Novelty of Technology

If you Love having new Gadgets you definitely want to grab the newest Digital frame, because this technology is still very new and most people have not been able to access it or even get exposed to it yet. What a great way to Wow your friends/colleagues.

(5) Ease of Functionality/Operation

Most people usually ask "what if am not tech-savvy enough to operate a digital frame?" Well this question is easy almost all digital photo frames come with easy to operate and simplified functionality. Most even come with an easy to use remote, users just operate it as they would operate their regular TV's remote. However, if you are a hi-tech individual and want your digital frame to be able to do some really fancy tech stuff, there are frames customized just for hi-tech people. Find one and you can't be happier.
