Most people don’t realize that their digital camera can capture video clips as well as still pictures. Quality varies from camera to camera, but it can be nice to not lug around a second (usually larger) video camera. When you take videos on your digital camera, you can quickly display them on most digital frames. Just take the card out of your camera, slide it into the frame and navigate to the video setting on the digital frame menu. You should now see the video file you recorded. Hit play and there’s the video clip.

Finally a company has come up with an easy solution to transfer content onto Wireless Digital Picture Frames. Check out FrameChannel.com.

Kodak is back in the digital picture frame market. In April they will begin offering 4 new photo frames. Each frame integrates with the Kodak Easyshare Software and allows users to connect a digital camera directly to the frame. Those folks who have pictbridge enabled printers can print directly from the frame.

Most digital cameras now offer a video capture feature. Depending on the size of your memory card and picture resolution, you can take up to three minutes of video at a time on your digital camera. I just rediscovered this feature. The video and audio quality from the still digital camera are pretty good, especially when you don’t have to lug a video camera along with you. The quality is equal if not better than my 2003 cannon zr45 digital video camera.
