If you've had to buy any analog photo frames lately, you know that they can get expensive really fast. Now that digital photo frames have started to come down in price, they can be a nice alternative to an end table full of wood, glass, and glossy prints because one digital frame can serve up dozens of photos in one big, repeating slide show. As with any electronics, some digital photo frames are better than others, and these are the best we've reviewed.
Kodak EasyShare EX-1011
Kodak's Wi-Fi-enabled EX-1011 offers the same strong feature set, good image quality, and online integration with the company's free EasyShare Gallery online photo-sharing service as its highly rated 8-inch brother, the EX-811--but the EX-1011's bigger screen size has more visual impact, especially in larger rooms.
Price: $144.99 - $248.95 (check prices)

Pandigital 8.0-inch Digital Photo Frame
The Pandigital 8-inch digital photo frame may not have built-in Wi-Fi, but it does deliver a pretty sharp-looking picture, has a fairly straightforward interface, and support for video and audio playback, which makes it an all-around solid digital photo frame.
Price: $139.99 - $149.56 (check prices)

CEIVA 8-Inch Digital Photo Frame
For fans of Ceiva's PicturePlan service, the company's fourth-generation 8-inch digital photo frame represents a nice upgrade. But with new, more user-friendly frames hitting the market, Ceiva's subscription-based service may be a harder sell to new customers.
Price: $175.25 - $176.48 (check prices)

Samsung SPF-72H
Samsung's 7-inch photo frame will look good on your desk at work--and offers good picture quality--but it's a fairly basic frame from a features standpoint.

Pandigital 15-inch Digital Photo Frame
The Pandigital is nice for displaying your photos, but you shouldn't count on it for video playback.

Philips AJL308 Digital Clock and Photo Frame
Marrying a clock radio with a digital photo frame is an awesome concept, but the Philips AJL308 needs to be improved upon before it becomes the perfect union.

Aluratek ADMPF210
The Aluratek ADMPF210's nice wooden bezel and 1,024x768-pixel screen make it an attractive choice to display still images, but it falls short when trying to play back videos, and its speakers can't do justice to your MP3s.
Price: $137.95 - $186.99 (check prices)
