I also had a digital picture frame boomerang its way back to me today. It was a Christmas present for a family member full of family photos. We had some power cuts in our area the other day that fried the memory card. Luckily the picture frame is OK. I'll just have to reload all the photos onto a new memory card, all 700 of them.......Sigh.
Trouble was, I only had a 128MB card left, the old one I used originally was 1Gb. I used a 1Gb card because I wanted to use large picture files for the frame to keep the quality up. I must say, the Philips 8FF3CDW/05 picture frame we bought is EXCELLENT. The only 'fault' I can find with it is that the 'random' slideshow feature isn't truly random. It show about 6 slides in a row before popping in one out of the numerical list. Nobody seems to have noticed though.
Anyway, I used Google Picasa's export fuction to resize smaller the files for the memory card. I kept them to 1000 pixels and managed to get the 700 files back onto the 128Mb card. Popped the card back into the frame and the quality is..........EXCELLENT!
