Sony Unveils Digital Frame/Printer Combo

By Greg Tarr -- TWICE, 11/9/2009

SAN DIEGO — Sony Electronics recently introduced a multitasking digital photo frame and printer combination that will allow users to display their digital snapshots and make printouts for friends and family.

The S-Frame DPP-F700 is billed as an all-in-one device that allows photo lovers to display their favorite photos and make an instant print copy for interested friends and family.

The DPP-F700, which will ship in January at a $200 estimated selling price, has a 7-inch 16:10 LCD display with WVGA (800 by 480) resolution.

The device prints 4-inch by 6-inch, professional-quality, 300 by 300-dpi photos in 45 seconds.

The frame will also enable users to edit images before making prints. Editing options include enlarging, reducing, cropping, date stamping, adding borders or omitting and adjusting brightness, contrast, hue and sharpness.

A Creative Print mode will enable making a photo calendar using more than 30 templates, print an ID photo and create a “layout print” with multiple images on one sheet.

The S-frame includes 1GB of internal storage capacity with an auto-resizing adjustment that downsizes photos to let you store up to 2,000 photos.

The new S-Frame model supports JPEG, TIFF and BMP image file formats.

Images can be transferred to the frame via a USB connection or via most flash-memory cards, including Memory Stick PRO, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Secure Digital (SD), SDHC, Multi-Media Card (MMC), CF and xD-Picture Card media.

An Auto Orientation sensor automatically rotates photos to adjust for horizontal or vertical frame placement.

Supplied accessories include a paper tray, AC adaptor, CD-ROM (print driver, PMB), operation manual, cleaning kit and stand.
