The EasyShare D830 Digital Frame is sleek little model boasting an eight-inch screen and detachable faceplate / frame. For those looking for something a little bigger there is also a ten-inch version too, called the EasyShare D1030.

We tested the eight-inch version, which comes with a square-edged black frame. This can be removed by popping the two clips on the back and pulling the frame off. It’s quite a tricky operation as the frame is quite tight, but it only takes a couple of seconds once you get the hang of it. The great thing about this frame is that the flat screen allows room for you to add your own personal 8X10 inch frame. This is great news as you rarely find a digital frame that really matches your home décor.

Operation is really easy, with the frame powering up in around two seconds. The AC power lead connects in the middle at the back easily. To the side you find the USB port, and two separate memory card slots; one for SD, MMC and xD cards and the other for MS and MS Pro Duo cards.

On the top of the frame lies the main control button, which lets you cycle through the main modes; collage, slideshow, clock and calendar. On the frame itself is an interactive touch sensitive panel marked out by LED lights. A few taps of these will enable you to alter the settings. This Quick Touch Border also has controls on the bottom of the screen to let you flick through images.

The frame can squeeze up to 4000 images on its 512MB internal memory, by dropping the image resolution when it loads up your images. This is done by default, but can be altered in the settings.

Although this is not the most feature-packed model we’ve ever scene, it is one of the easiest to use, which score big in our eyes.

Final Verdict A very easy to use model, which is ideal for those who just want to plug and play rather than fiddle with multiple scene options OVERALL
