Different ways of building slideshows

Here are some links showing different approaches to slideshows:

Simpleviewer (it's free, uses flash elements, the thumbnails are somewhat large):

Slideshow Pro (flash component that costs about $30, transitions are elegant, you can include video in the slideshows, can go full screen):
http://slideshowpro.net/

Flickr Slideshow (free, easy to adjust content thru Flickr interface, can include video but the limits is 90 seconds per clip, it's obviously branded as a Flickr tool, can go full screen):

Lightbox (free, darkens the rest of the web page so that focus is on each image, can't scale to full screen):
