Some nine months after Digital Foci unveiled the
IMT-062, the firm is gearing up for CES 2008 with a trio of newcomers (entire family shown). Up first is the revamped Image Moments 6 (IMT-063), which sports a 5.7-inch 640 x 480 LED-backlit panel, a two-tone polished chrome finish and built-in stereo speakers. Moving on up, we've got the Image Moments 8 (IMT-083), which ups the ante with a 800 x 600 resolution panel and a 500:1 contrast ratio, and just in case that's not enough screen real estate for you, there's the 15-inch IMT-153, which packs a XGA (1,024 x 768) resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, an AV input, interchangeable frame / mat and VESA mountability. The trifecta includes 200MB of storage, USB 2.0 connectivity and a multicard reader that handles a smorgasbord of formats, and all three should be available in March for $149, $199 and $399, respectively.

Riddle me this Batman, why are these things so freaking expensive with such poor resolution. I dont get it.

Yeah, it's never made much sense to me, they aren't much more than a small low res LCD screen and a memory card reader.

Hey, at least they aren't "widescreen." It seems like more than half the digiframes on the market are 16:9. Who the hell needs a widescreen digiframe when all your photos are 4:3? I don't want a frame that has to crop all my pictures . . . why would anyone want that? Someone please enlighten me.

I agree with R.
Manufacturers and buyers just look on the price. If widescreen is cheaper, they buy this one and do not think a step further.

Why are there four frames in the picture?
Please rescue me, Captain Obvious.
