Sony introduced two new models this week to their S-Frame digital photo frame series – the 10 inch DPF-D100 and the 8 inch DPF-D80. Both frames come with SVGA resolutions (800 x 600) and are the first Sony frames to feature 4:3 aspect ratios. Offering 4:3 aspect ratios might sound initially weird but if you think about it – it makes perfect sense. Most digital still shots are shot in 4:3 aspect ratios. 16:9 displays showing 4:3 photos will either zoom in on the picture thereby cropping it or add black borders resulting in a small displayed image size.

Here is the picture for the 8 inch model:
