5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful little "toy"!, August 1, 2005

I bought this for my husband before we embarked on our first vacation without our son, knowing that he'd be going nuts without all his photos (at least!). Unfortunately the version of EasyShare software it was packaged with when I got it was not the version it needed to work - so I didnt have time to get it working before we left. A call to customer service when we got home was all that I needed though - the right software was available as a free download from the website. It was only frustrating because nothing in the package indicated that was the problem, or that an update was needed.

That said, once I got it working and loaded all of his favorite pictures on it, my husband has not let it out of his sight. He loves having it to look at on the bus to and from work, or to be able to show people pictures whereever he is. I may end up getting another one for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad if the price is right, November 19, 2005

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer (Electronics)

Just bought this one at C.C. and it will be $50 after rebate. It is a slick little unit but loading pics to the internal memory sounds like a lot more trouble then its worth. You can simply drag & drop pics to an SD card (using a card reader) and pop it in the slot and your pictures are immediately viewable. BUT, this expandability feature is somewhat wasted because there does not appear to be any way to organize your photos. I had 3 separate 'folders' on the SD card but the viewer just finds all the pictures and ignores the existance of folders. Therefore, if you want to store 500 photos on your SD card and organize them into numerous folders, forget it. This viewer will show all 500 and you will have to scan from number 1 to 500. The 9 picture multi display can speed things up a bit in order to get to picture #250 but its too bad that they couldn't support some type of quicker navigation. If anyone finds any tricks to get around this, please let me know but it looks like you will need to keep your picture count at a small level.
One more thing that is a little disappointing is the file name feature limits the display to 8 characters!!! This goes back to the dark days of DOS. Hard to believe in this day and age especially since this device has 32 meg built in.
UPDATE - 11.21.05
I went to Kodak's website and got the latest version of EASYSHARE software since I believe it is the only way to transfer pics to the internal memory. I think they better rename this software because in no way is it easy. I tried the install on my desktop and laptop and it failed in both cases. I went to their site and got their 'fixit' software to correct the problem and still no luck!
I still feel this little unit has some potential (at the right price) but don't count on using the internal memory. Just use an SD card. It really is too bad that they couldn't simply make it like any other flashdrive product and have it instantly recognized by Windows as a drive. They probably wanted to force you to use their buggie software. Hey, maybe they will release a firmware update in the near future to remedy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grandma's Brag Book Gone Digital!, March 21, 2006

By

This review is from: Kodak Easyshare Picture Viewer (Electronics)

This is great replacment for carrying around a Grandma's (or Mom's Aunt's..you get it)Brag Book or packets of 4 x 6 photos. It's small and compact (fits easily into a pocket or purse), has a slideshow feature, and in multi-photo mode allows you to select an individual photo to view from what's available on that screen (but not from all photos). I asked for this for Christmas, but my husband wouldn't buy it due to some of the negative reviews posted here (software issues). I really wanted it, so I bought it for myself and had no trouble with the setup and download of pictures from my Computer.

I don't own a Kodak Easy-Share camera or printer, so don't be put off by the title that it's only for use with either one.

It's a stand alone digital picture viewer that's very easy to use! It's nice that you can use it with your Kodak printer if you have one, but I don't want to carry around photos, so it's fine with me.

One small drawback..when you slide the viewer into the case (provided) you can accidentally turn it on when you put it away...slide it in backwards to avoid this.
