Holiday gift ideas: Getting Digi With It

The device is easy to use -- I plugged in an SD card and then plugged in the device to my system, and the software automatically imported photos and created a slide show. The editing and enhancement tools are easy to use, although once you make an adjustment you have to save the photo to the PC's hard drive.

I'd also recommend picking and choosing the photos you want to use beforehand, as I tend to take lots of photos with my digital camera and don't edit them. This led to a lot of bad photos ending up being imported, which takes time to delete them from the slide show. And if I was going to be putting photos on the PC to begin with, I could just use a different photo editor or video editor to create the slide show (like the program Muvee, to name one).

Still, it's a handy device -- if you have some patience, you can make some pretty good slide shows and then share them with friends and family.Cool Yule rating: 3 starsPrice: $80Product Web siteReviewed by Keith Shaw~~
