AJuff Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My children would like to buy their dad a photo frame for Father's Day. They would like to put all the photos of them and their dad on it from 2003 onwards and share lots of laughs. How would I get photos off the computer and onto a photo frame? Memory pen? Also can you make it play photos by date? Any suggestions for easy to use frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C&T Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Bought one for inlaws for same reason a short while ago. Great idea! My tips are buy the most expensive one you can afford. The quality of the picture will be so much better. Also check whether they will take Memory Sticks or memory cards. We bought one with a memory card, as our PC has a slot for them, so could move the pictures directly from the PC to the card. Really easy! Just move the card to the frame, switch on, and off it goes! The frames rarely come with a card or stick, (or they will be a very small capacity) so you will need to buy one seperately. Buy the largest one you can find! The reviews on Amazon are really useful - reading those give you a good idea on their ease of use etc. I am not sure about the order of the pictures...

soapdragon Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 These really are great ! Ours has a memory stick slot so you ust load from the comp and stick in the stick! Good advice to buy the best you can afford! Dad will love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee1965 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 My kids bought me and OH one for our wedding anniversary last year. It has a memory stick which I just transfer the photos to and then put it in the frame. I love it and it's on all the time. Buy the best you can afford. I think the one I've got is a Sandstream or something like that and the picture quality is really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 OH bought me a Panasonic one for christmas - it's rubbish! The good thing is that it uses a memory card - move the pics you want onto the card and put it into the photoframe. I got an 8gb card from play.com and there is loads of space on it. It plays the pics in order of date, which is a bit annoying as I'd like to be able to play them at random as well. Mine is the Panasonic MW10 which is also supposed to play CDs and has an ipod dock and is supposed to play music videos and show the album graphics while it plays. It doesn't charge the ipod while it plays and it isn't compatible with my ipod touch so doesn't show the album covers It also starts humming after a while which is really annoying.

Pearls007 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Mine (Kodak I think) was a present from OH at Christmas. You can email photos to it which is great. But it does mean the the kids take photos on the ipad - distort them - and then give me a shock when they appear in the frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
