Digital slide show - Sandisk Digital Photo Viewer

[Stan Halpin]

The last couple of years, whenever I have visited my in-laws, I have 
done a 'slide show' on my 15" laptop. My father-in-law used to be an 
avid photographer and is one who loves to see other's photos, my 
mother-in-law likes the people pictures of family  in particular. In 
their 90's, neither can cope with an LCD screen for more than a few 
minutes.

I just bought a $39 Sandisk Digital Photo Viewer. Plug it into the 
outlet, hook a cable to your TV, plug in a CF card, et voila, a slide 
show on your home TV. I am impressed. Fairly quick response when you 
hit the 'rotate' button, and, even better, it remembers which photos 
have been rotated from horizontal to vertical. It steps through 2mb 
files at about 3 sec each, slower if you want.

I assume that a version for digital TV's will be coming, if it isn't 
here already, but for quick viewing of family photos, this is a 
treasure.
