Mark Burton might have a good idea

making picture frames to fit dSLR pictures.

Problem: point and shoot cameras commonly use a 3:4 aspect ratio for pictures.
For example. My Sony DSC-F717 takes 5MP pictues at 2560 x 1920 -- 2560 / 4 = 640 * 3 = 1920. Most picture frames are 4x6 or 8x10. that's a 2:3 or 4:5 ratio.

If you print your photos at full resolution, you'll have to trim the white edges:


Or, you can crop your pictures beforehand, but you may lose the focus of your picture or details:


However, both may be unfavorable. Why not make picture frames that actually fit? :)
