flickr Friday: Mandarin Duck
What a lovely duck and reflection captured here. It's the mandarin duck, floating around at Richmond Park in London. In Oriental art, these birds are a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity. Huh. You can see more work from law_keven at Flickr.

January 2009 Monthly Roundup for PictureSnob
This year will bring yet more innovation on the digital photography front. While more folks get in the digital picture frame game, the space to watch is digital cameras. The lines are blurred completely between cell phones, cameras and computers.

One of the interesting new products to come out of CES 2009 is the digital cameras with superzooms--up to 26x optical zooms! The Olympus SP-590UZ
and the Kodak Z980
are the models of note. You can pre-order now with Amazon but the product isn't set to ship until spring. You can read our full post here.

NEW Digital Picture Frames from Acer
From the folks who bring you snazzy LCD monitors for your PC, Acer is now entering the digital picture frame market--a logical leap, unlike some of the characters you'll find in the market. We're awaiting exact launch timing and pricing but expect to see four new digital picture frames soon--AF318, AF308, AF307 and AF207. They've all got high-end graphic engines, built-in card readers and slideshow, audio and touch screen capabilities. While there's nothing new about these features, we do welcome Acer to the market since they have a reputation for such quality displays.

Floating Digital Picture Frames from Pandigital
Oh there are still more tricks in the digital picture frame bag... just you wait. Check out the PanTouch Clear line of frames from Pandigital for a fresh new design. The 800x600 display "floats" in a frame of all glass. The stand on the back is also clear, so it works tabletop as well. The line also promises to be intuitive for users and can be commanded via touch icons on the glass surface of the frame. (Mind the fingerprints!) Frames should be available soon with a 7-inch model for $119 and the 8-inch model for $140. So far no press photos to share either. Arg.
