So you’re planning on getting the Canon 1D Mark 3…

It’s not impossible that photo albums may soon be a thing of the past in the future thanks to digital photo frames. It seems unlikely that traditional photo frames will vanish anytime soon – they will always have a place – but, considering the extra options that digital frames offer, I could see the possibility of bulky photo albums falling out of use relatively quickly.

Photography is a fantastic hobby, the only trouble is that, for some reason or another, it has always been a lot easier to take photos than to get them out on display. In times gone by, it really was very common to find rolls and rolls of undeveloped films squireled away in drawers. They would often lie there so long that they deteriorated to the point where the color reproduction was very poor when you eventually got them back from the lab.

According to business analysts Futuresource Consulting, UK consumers are buying digital picture frames faster than ever. It’s estimated that one in ten UK homes now have at least one digital frame – 8 million were sold in the UK market during 2008.

More than 20 million digital picture frames were sold during 2008. They were the gift of choice for many over the Festive period – and it’s unsurprising when you consider how easy it is to personalize them using photos of friends, family, social gatherings etc. With very little time and minimal effort you can create a totally unique gift.
