Digital Picture Frames

Anyone have good recommendations? I want one with internal memory so I can give it to my parents. Any recommendations on where to buy in Austin? I figure Best Buy unless someone has another idea.

amazon is where I bought mine, got a 2gb card for $8 as well.

Just bought two of these at Walmart for Christmas gifts today. They have a bunch of different models, and I think their prices are pretty good compared to Best Buy and others that I checked online. Most of the digital frames will accept various types of memory cards. I bought two 2-GB SD memory cards for $5 apiece.

I have been researching these as well- looks like you can get a decent one for $100 or less.

However, I wonder how they do w/ scaling photos- especially 4:3 photos (all my digital pics are 4:3) to 16:9 dimensions (most frames seem to be this spec)? Do they crop/ stretch the pics to fit, or leave bars on the side? Is this noticeable?

(I have a great slideshow player on my xbox- xboxmediacenter- which kicks all kinds of *** on a 16:9 screen, however, I have seen many dvd players that don't do a real good job.)

The frames I bought at Walmart this past weekend (who would have thought Walmart would carry such technological wonders???) are 7" GiiNii frames for $70 apiece. They are the 16:9 format and will center a 4:3 pic in the middle of the screen with black bars on the sides, although I think this setting is configurable. Of course, different models will offer different levels of function...
