by simply sliding your finger across the border, a nice feature. The price is low, but the image size is just five inches diagonally, which is a bit smaller than a typical print, and the frame can only accomodate SD memory cards. If you want more image real estate, consider the 7-inch P720, which also has the same kind of touch-sensitive screen and only costs $10 more. The Kodak Easyshare P520 will be available in September for approximately $79.95.
