The 7-inch DPF-D70, 7-inch DPF-V700, and 9-inch DPF-V900 all boast of 800×480 resolutions and can handle very high-quality photos; all can handle RAW shots (in ARW, SRF, and SR2 formats). They are built on a downscaling processor that can handle up to 48-megapixel shots in most image types. The two top-of-the-line models feature Bluetooth adapters that help to wirelessly upload photos from cellphones. They also include native HDMI output, gain full 1080p support, BMP and TIFF and on-frame editing tools to help eliminate basic stuff like red-eye removal and sharpening. Every S-Frame supports JPEG photos as well as ten different slide show modes, a calendar, and a clock. Sony plans on shipping the three frames in March at prices of $140, $190, and $250.
