What’s this fangled new digital picto-mo-graph everyone is talking about you say?  It’s a wonderful invention which allows you to capture your favorite photos in a single picture frame, and also display those photos to your friends and family.  With digital camera technology continuing to improve and rise in popularity, companies thought of another way in which to use digital picture technology; this time for display as opposed to taking pictures.  The digital picture viewer was born, and with it came thousands of consumers clamoring for this fresh new technology which saves pictures to a small hard drive within a standard picture frame, and then displays those pictures on an LCD screen.  It’s almost like having a miniaturized computer monitor slide show. 

Digital picture viewers can be uploaded with pictures directly from the computer, or through the camera.  For some picture frames, a computer isn’t even essential if the digital camera memory card is compatible with the picture frame; allowing a digital quality display of pictures in seconds.
