Around here, we talk a lot about what to use to take your pictures.  After all, the place is called Image Acquire.  But what we don’t think about very often is what to do with those images once we’ve acquired them.  Some people leave them in the camera.  Others print them out and put them in conventional albums.  But if you want a little more techno-savvy approach to picture storage and exhibition, try something like the Insignia NS DPF8WW09, the digital photo frame.

I found this particular model at a Best Buy for a hundred and twenty bucks, but shopping online puts it at about ninety, so prices can vary widely. It’s got 800 x 600 resolution, a 300:1 contrast ratio and a 4:3 aspect ratio, 256 megabytes of internal memory (which only doesn’t sound like much until you consider how many pictures that’d be) along with a USB flash drive slot. It supports CF, SD, MMC, xD and MS memory formats.

But that’s just the half of it–the model I found came in a really nice burnished metal frame, and the phrase “complements any decor” should fit nicely.  The lower priced model comes in black, which still looks good but not quite as good as the slightly more expensive model.  And even better, the pictures come out looking nice, too–they’ll move in a slideshow inside the frame, so you can have hundreds of pictures sliding back and forth, changing on a regular basis.  Put all your family photos in one frame in the living room, or take your vacation photos to work and keep a slide show at your desk.

It’s a clever idea, no mistake, and a central warehouse for your pics that also serves as a display function is hardly a bad idea.
