You ever sit down to a big sundae or something, start in, love every bite of it and then discover there’s like a whole sundae left that you haven’t even finished?  How it vaguely nauseates you to just look at it because it’s way too much sundae and you paid way too much for it when you could’ve just had a waffle cone and been satisfied?

That’s exactly how I felt about the Philips SPF3410 digital photo frame.

The Philips SPF3410 digital photo frame is a ten inch frame that offers a hundred and twenty eight megs of onboard memory, automatic rotation to let you choose portrait or landscape on the fly, clock and calendar functions, remote control, and support for USB flash drives, Memory Sticks, MMC, SD, MS Duo and x-D picture cards.

So you can see that it really only differs from the SPF3408, which I described yesterday as the “best buy”, in that it’s slightly larger (one whole inch) and offers automatic rotation.

This sounds great, of course, until you consider that they want a hundred bucks for it.  That’s about forty bucks more than the 3407 and more than the 3408 besides.  And while this does look good, and present its photos well, do you really want to pay forty bucks more for a couple inches and rotation?

The Philips SPF3410 digital photo frame is a nice frame, no mistake, but the little extra it offers doesn’t really merit the expanded pricing.  Just a bit too much for what you get, as far as I’m concerned.
