This topic may have appeared somewhere before but for those relatively new to digital cameras, I thought I'd mention what a pleasant surprise I had recently when I put one of my backup data CDs into a Panasonic DVD-S27 (DVD player) which we recently bought. I have been copying the folders and image titles given by the Canon A70 and S1-IS directly to CDs without changing any names, as a quick backup to protect against a possible HDD malfunction. It turns out that, when putting any of my backup CDs into the DVD player, it automatically sets up a menu system with folders on the left and individual images on the right. I can use the DVD remote to pick and choose which folder I want to see, then sit back and let the DVD automatically play the pictures in sequence. Or just leave it alone and it shows every picture on the CD. I hadn't tried this before so it was a pleasant surprise, and the clarity on our TV with the S-video connection is amazingly crisp and clear.
I'm sure there are better options out there with more bells and whistles but for me this has been a very nice breakthrough; it's nice sometimes rather than sit at the computer screen, to just to lie on the bed or sofa and watch the photos flash on screen and it's a nice way to share photos with other family members. Can anybody else add enlightenment to this? I've only been into digital photography since late 2003.
