What Is A Digital Picture Viewer?

By Mark Durrett

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? 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. Ah, those days are long gone. Now we have digital cameras that allow us to see the picture right after it is taken. Not only that, but we can also just upload them onto our computers and keep them there safe and sound. And of course, you can print them to put in your old-style picture album. That's fine too. Revolutions in technology have now produced digital picture viewers.

What are those? Digital picture viewers are devices that allow you to view all your images in one place, like a photo album only digital and with a lot more storage. You have probable seen this on store shelves in the form of digital picture frames. They are quite likely the ultimate in camera accessories. They allow you to the freedom to instantly back up your precious images. Its operation is 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. 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. I have read reviews of viewers that allow you to do some form of editing to your images using the viewer itself. 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. - 29888
