I've won a digital photframe that takes MMC/SD/XD/MS. The only trouble is my camera takes CF.

Is there any device that enables me to take pictures from my PC and put them on to a card in one of the formats the photoframe would accept, seeing as I can't use the CF direct into the frame?

Yep! A multicard reader!

The files are just jpegs - it's just the type/shape of memory card that's different.

A multicard reader is cheap and cheerful for £5-£10. I use it to download photos from the camera in any case. You just save them from your computer to a suitable card. I have one of these photo frames and do exactly that myself as my camera only takes CF as well! I process the files on the computer and then save them to an SD card.

Check your mobile phone - it may use the same size card (if it uses a card). If so do as above but transfer to your phone and then use the card in the frame.

Thanks guys - the mobile is no good, but I'll get one of these card readers.

Some computers have slots for all different types of cards. May be possible this way.

you can buy adapters on ebay that let you fit an SD card into a CF card slot, this would allow you to use an SD card in your camera and then plug the SD card directly into the frame. It means buying a converter and SD card though but the adaptors are only a few quid.
