Digital Picture Viewer Functions And Uses

By Mark Durrett

Ah, the days of having to maintain your old camera. Having a limited number of pictures, having to get the film developed at the film development place, then waiting to get it back. And not to mention the photo albums you used to keep. If you wanted to show off your son's birthday party to your friends you would either have to invite them over or take the bulky albums to them. The days of photo albums are gone now, for better or for worse. Now we have digital cameras that allow us to see the picture right after it is taken. We now have the opportunity to upload these images not only to our computers but to online storage sites as well. Did I forget anything else? Oh yes, we can print the images too and still have the family album. Revolutions in technology have now produced digital picture viewers.

What are those? In short, digital picture viewers allow us to view all of our digitally-taken pictures with ease, like a photo album only digital and with a lot more storage. The most functional of this is the digital photo frame. They are also getting more and more popular as people want to show off their pictures. You can back up and instantly view your valuable pictures, and you don't even have to wait. The way these things work is very simple: just transfer the memory card from your camera over to the photo viewer and copy them to the viewer's hard drive. This way you do not have to worry about running out of space, or even worry about corrupting the images on the card. Also it is very convenient as it saves you the trouble of carrying around a bulky laptop to transfer your images.

These digital picture viewers normally work with all image formats, and will work with all the common memory card formats for example SD/HC Card, Memory Stick and xD-Picture Card to name a few. You will be able to take your whole photo album anywhere you want it to go, which is something we could only have dreamt of years ago. And luckily, many of them also come with a built-on hard drive, so you can have the viewer hold a large amount of images as well.

Not only will these digital picture viewers store images, they also have the capacity to store videos and music. Even better is that some models even allow you to do some minor edits to your pictures as well. Adding to the versatility of these devices, some will allow you the flexibility of printing straight from the viewer itself. Talk about convenience.

Each day man seeks to find ways of improving our lives and the preservation of our precious images is no different. With digital picture viewers they have changed the way we see, save and share our memories. - 32363
