If you are into photography, you may have noticed that there is a new type of photo frame apart from the traditional Paper Print type ones. With the advances made in technology, traditional photo frames are taking on a new and improved slant towards digitalization. The Digital Photo Frame is the result of blending the traditional photo frame with digital image displaying technology.

With the digital photo frame, one does not need to process the roll of film in order to produce photo prints. Neither does one need a computer to display the photos. All that is required is for you to shoot the images using a digital camera, followed by slotting the memory card from the camera into the card slot on the Photo Frame.

Depending on the model of the product, Digital Photo Frames come with different options and functions. Some of the more expensive and sophisticated models can even play music as well as display movies.

Most models and types of Digital Photo Frames can accept many memory card formats. The most commonly acceptable memory card formats are SD and MMC. JPEG is one of the widely acceptable bitmap format for displaying the image. JPEG is the most commonly used image file format that is supported by all compact cameras and DSLRs.

As of current, digital photo frames are much more expensive than the traditional print type ones. Therefore, I do not think that the traditional ones will become extinct in the near future.
