This reinvigorated market is ready for its second life." "Digital Cameras and Imaging: Analysis and Forecasts" attributes the renewed interest in digital photo frame products to consumers' heightened familiarity with digital imaging applications, the growing number and increasing significance of digital pictures in households around the world, more affordable prices for hardware and flash memory, and better product design and features, which create a more enjoyable user experience. This industry still has to clear a few bumps in the road ahead, and consumers are not likely to change their habits overnight, but gradually, the digital photo frame will convince families of its many merits, including convenience, ease of use, and stunning visual effects."
