Yes, the DMF82XKU 8" Digital Media Frame is expensive, but its well-executed Web-connected features help to justify its $179.99 (list) price and make it our latest Editors' Choice digital photo frame. Toshiba pairs Wi-Fi with FrameChannel, a sophisticated Web-based photo and content streaming service that makes sending content to the frame seamless, allowing you to add your own photos wirelessly, invite friends and family members to share their photos, and stream a variety of content from RSS feeds. Thanks to its online component, the DMF82XKU is great for, say, displaying party pictures from Facebook or sending vacation photos home to grandma—while you're still on the road.

The 8-inch frame looks nearly identical to the slightly smaller $120 Sony DPF-D70 7" Digital Photo Frame—both offer an elegant appearance and feature 800-by-480-pixel LCDs with a 15:9 aspect ratio surrounded by a black border. The Toshiba frame's display measures 8 inches with a 1.6-inch bezel on either side, while the Sony frame's LCD is one inch smaller and features a 1-inch bezel. But unlike the Sony model, which offers physical controls behind the frame, the Toshiba unit features backlit touch sensitive buttons that run along the right border and disappear when not in use—there's also a wireless remote.
