Hi all, I was hoping I can get a little guidance......

I would really love to get my parents a digital frame for Christmas this year....
and since I don't own one (yet:rolleyes:) I was curious about a couple of things.

1) can you take pictures from your pc and load them onto the frame? and if not is there a way to take pictures from your pc and put them on a memory card? so that I can use the memory card to load pictures on

and

2) does anyone recommend a good one? nothing too expensive, prob. no more then 70.00 if possible.

Thank you!!!!!!!

I have the Pandigital mdl 7000DW 7 inch frame. You can load images straight to the frame from your pc (1 gb) and/or on a SD card (or other types of memory cards). It also has a remote control that attaches to the back by a magnet so it doesn't get lost! The Pandigital 7000 is currently selling on Amazon for $64.95 w/free shipping. For $4.72 more you can get a Sandisk 4gb SD card. I have had mine for over a year and it works great. As a matter a fact I'm looking at it right now, as it sits on my desk next to my monitor.

I also have a Pandigital, I downsize the pics first and then put them on an SD memory card, you can fit thousands of pics on a cheap 2 GB card.

sure, insert the card into the PC!
or if your PC doesn't have a card reader just go down to Walmart and get a $5 card reader that inserts into the USB port.

I have the Pandigital mdl 7000DW 7 inch frame.I have a similar Pandigital 7-inch frame, but I don't think it is the same one. Would like to set it up for my grandmother to see photos of her great-granchildren, but I can't find any sort of guide as to the actual pixel dimensions of the screen. It seems to be closer to a 16:9 ratio than the one you referenced. Anyone, by any chance, have one of these? Looks very much like the one referenced above, but it has internal memory of 512MB ...

I am very pleased with the quality of the image. My daughter is the one who convinced me. She had one and was extremely happy with hers.

awesome, thank you.
I actually seen one on walgreens site for a little less money, here is the link, LMK what you think.

http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/pandigital-7-inch-digital-photo-frame/ID=prod5790068-product

i think this is the one you sent me thats on amazon's site:

http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/pandigital-7-inch-diagonal-digital-photo-frame-4%3a3/ID=prod5629263-product

I am only see that the screens are a little different, what else is different? oh maybe that the cheaper only holds 4000 images as opposed to 6400 that the other one holds.

Looking at the specs, the cheaper one has less internal memory (no big deal if you plan on using an external card (SD or other) for your photos), The screen aspect is different 16 x 10 vs 4 x 3, and the screen resolution is lower (480 x 234 vs 800 x 600). You should get a better image out of the slightly more expensive one.

Pixeemom has both 7" Pandigital frames in the previous post with all the specs. I have the second one and it appears you have the first. All the specs are there to look at.

i am going to stick with the slightly more expensive one, just to be on the safe side, thank you!!! again for your help
