2.0 out of 5 stars Caution - no random viewing, December 4, 2007

By 

David (Illinois) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kodak EX-811 Easyshare 8-inch Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability (Electronics)

I bought this as a gift for the grandparents. Loaded about 800 pictures on an SD card and turned it on. The image is very nice. But I noticed that the first picture displayed was the first I added to the card.
Hmm. Turned it off, then back on. Same thing.
Then I looked at the manual (which is inside the box, obviously) where it says that pictures are displayed in the order added.
Very bad!
You'll never see the last 700 pictures unless you sit through the first 100, every time you turn it on.
I took this back and bought a Westinghouse DPF-0802 which has a random display and nice image. I wanted another one of those but everyone is sold out.
Just be careful if you get the Kodak and expect to see a different show each time you turn it on.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is EXACTLY the Digital Picture Frame I have Been Looking For!, April 24, 2007

First off, the picture quality is excellent and in my book, that is most important. Pictures look sharp and contrasty from almost all viewing angles.

The image size is similar to a 5x7 and the overall frame size is like a matted 5x7 photo.

This thing is flexible to the max!!

* You can view pictures on a memory card.
* You can view pictures on your computer (but you have to load Microsoft Media Player 11
* You can view all of your pictures and your friends pictures on the Kodak Gallery.
* You can download pictures to the built in memory from your computer via USB2.
* You can upload pictures from a memory card inserted in the frame to your networked PC (I'm not sure why you would want to do that.)

What's wrong with it? Not much but you will have to look in the manual at least once to figure out what the icons on the remote are all about. The menus aren't that straight forward, but once you go thru them they are good enough. Finally, I had to upgrade my old 802.11 B wireless router to a newer 802.11 G router to get the wireless stuff to work. No big deal, I bought a $35 basic router and it works fine.

Highly recommended!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad Documentation - NO SUPPORT!!!, June 30, 2007

I bought the sister product - the 10" EX 1011 - same issues apply to both the 10" and this 8"

The product looks great BUT!!

I bought it to send pictures to Grandma. We thought we could post pictures on the Kodak Gallery, and she (many many miles away) could see the latest of the grandchildren. HOWEVER ... it keeps losing its contact withe Wifi and reverting to its internal memory. If Grandma was up to resetting it to point at Gallery, she would have a computer and wouldn'r need this.

The on-line documentation says that you can make the Gallery the place it automatically goes to BUT .. the menus described on the web page are NOT, in fact, availale on the device. We sent a question email to customer service .. git an autmated response that said we would get a real response within about 24 hours. 5 Days NO RESPONSE. They do not post any phone numbersw to call for this device. They have an online chat that is ALWAYS BUSY, and so does not respond.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! Personally, I will never buy any Kodak product again. I expect some minimal level of support from companies that want me to buy their products.
