Battery Operated Digital Photo Frame?

15 years ago

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality digital photo frame that operates on batteries? I volunteer with a non profit that needs one for their events, so it needs to have a somewhat long lasting battery, although it would be fine if it last 4/5 hours, we could purchase additional batteries. There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there, and since we don't have a lot of extra cash, I don't want to make a mistake on the purchase. Any help is appreciated!

Examine the power cord. Most of them have a 110v plug connected to a small square block and a light guage wire from that block to the frame.

The block is a 110v AC to low voltage DC power converter.

Check the specifications on the block to determine what the output voltage is. Typically about 5vdc to 12vdc.

Once you know the output voltage you can make up a battery pack that would supply the same voltage.

By example, if you find it has a 6volt DC output you could get another plug the same size as the one that plugs into the frame and connect that to a 6v battery.

Standard flashlight batteries are 1.5v so you could also put 4 flashlight batteries in series to make a 6v source.

Digital frame question

Most are powered only by an AC adapter, but I've heard there are a few that also have battery power,. Check the specs on any frame you are interested in: many of them can handle 100-240V AC input, which means you would not need to buy a special transformer to make it work in England, just a couple dollar adapter plug to allow the U.S.-style plug to mate with a British receptacle. (See the link below for a kit with several adapters; this would handle whatever you encountered in England.) The most important thing to me is the screen resolution: some of the less expensive ones have pretty low resolution and the pictures look grainy. If it were me, I'd pick one with the best resolution I could afford, and just get a plug adapter. Here is a link that might be useful: Plug adapter kit

DSLR vs point and shoot digital
Q
Comments (4)
I've got a Canon Power Shot S2 IS. Its a great point an shoot camera, but with a few gripes. The good stuff: 1. Fast boot up. Ready to go 1 second after turn on. 2. Quick auto-focus. If the auto-focus is turned off for general viewing and composing, it will focus when the shutter button is pressed to the first detent and immediately fire the shutter when the button is pressed all the way down. You press to the first detent, wait for focus, then shoot. Focusing in good light takes nore more than a second or so. Focus lag can be eliminated if the auto-focus is set to full time, but uses more battery power. Usually, by the time you compose the picture it is waiting for you. 3. Auto-focus continues while shooting a video. 4. Great lens 12 X Zoom, 6.0 - 72.0 mm; f/2.7 - f/3.5. There aren't many lenses out there (in this price range) that will have an arperature of f/3.5 at 12 X zoom. 5. The S2 model has 5.0 MP. This has been plenty for what I do. Later models have more. 6. Battery life is average with the Hybrid NiMH rechargeable cells. Regular NiMH cells are disappointing. These do not hold charge very well. The Hybrid NiMH cells leak rate is acceptable and superior to the regular NiMH cells. 7. The view finder brightens in low light to aid composition. The amount of brightening is amazing. When the shutter button is pressed to the first detent, a small green led light beam turns on to aid focusing and turns off for the shot. 8. Raising the flash lamp activates it. It needs a few seconds to charge. 9. Lens distortion is low. Swing-out and swivel rear screen. The agravating: 1. The sensor does not seem to have as much dynmaic range as a Nikon or Kodak. 2. Default settings causes burn out of highlighted items. This can be remedied by switiching to the "P" (program) mode and adjusting exposure down by 1/3 F stop. 3. Although the lens has 12X zoom, I would sacrifice a litte zoom on the long end to get wider at the low end. The low end is not wide enough for close-in group shots. 4. The worst failing for the S2 model. Viewfinder is too dim in bright light and the rear screen is hard to see (and increases battery drain). 5. There is no optical view finder; it is electronic. It is a little short of pixels to make good judgements about fine focus and there is a lag as one adjustes the focus. However, since the viewfinder is using signal from the main sensor, it accurately frames the scene. These comments apply to the S2 model. Improvements have been made in later models. It will be difficult to beat the performace of this camera in this price range.

gwanny2three, Ok, I have to ask "How did you put music on your frame, mine is Photoshare. Do you think I can put music on too? You can email me direct to tell me how you did yours, if you want.
