If you are still racing around trying to find the perfect gift for a loved one then a digital photo frame is the way to go. Digital photo frames have really taken off this year and they are a great present for young and old alike.

Over the weekend I raced around the masses in the mall and came across a digital photo frame which I thought would be a great present for my parents. The Dick Smith 7″ Digital Photo Frame is a great way to share your photos with family and friends. You can also pre-load it with some pictures before you give it to them to add a personal touch.

It supports SD/MMC/MS memory cards and has a USB 2.0 port. Plug a USB in and it automatically starts to play the photo. The frame is 7 inches with a 16:9 screen. The sleek black frame fits in well to any modern home. The resolution is 480×234. The stand is rotatable which means that you can view the pictures horizontally or vertically. There is also a clock/calendar for all your handy planning.

Keep all those treasured memories alive and give someone you love a digital camera this Christmas. It may not be the best digital photo frame out there but it works fine. Currently only $49.97, check it out at Dicksmith now.
