Do you remember the days of taking a photograph with your camera, then taking the film to the photo studio to have it cleaned; which would usually take a couple of days, then having a bulky photo album at your house for all to see? Back then if you wanted to show a friend your kid's birthday party pictures you would have to haul out the album and flip through it to find what you were trying to show them. Ah, those days are long gone. Today's cameras, which are digital, can let us just look at the pictures as soon as they are taken. Not only that, but we can also just upload them onto our computers and keep them there safe and sound. 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.

Huh! What are those things? 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 many work with the most common memory card formats, such as SD cards. With the digital photo frame you have the convenience of taking the album to your friends and family in a no hassle way. 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. That really is what I call convenience.

We are always looking for new ways to make our lives more convenient. We also love to take pictures of our favorite memories. With digital picture viewers they have changed the way we see, save and share our memories.
