 Not great! September 8, 2008
T. Elison (Albrightsville, Pa)
This digital photo frame is ok, but not great!
The frame stand is MUCH, MUCH too short and forces the frame to lie back at a very low angle. Also, the Voice quality of my videos when displayed on this frame sounds like Mickey Mouse is talking!!
Picture quality is ok.
 Nice picture, simple setup, Grandma loves it. September 3, 2008
C. T. Castro (Round Rock, TX)
The frame works exactly as expected. It has a good display from a couple of feet (on the shelf above the computer).
We used Picasa from Google to sort through several thousand photos to find a few (hundred!) to put on an SD Card. You do need to avoid portrait layout.
Good price, nice display, easy to use, Grandma loves it. Five Stars.
 Very Disappointed September 2, 2008

I chose this frame over others primarily for the wireless features. The idea of transferring a lot of pictures from my camera to my computer and then from my computer to the frame with no SD card in the middle was very appealing.
But it didn't work.
I spent a full day trying to get my computer and the frame to link. I followed all the steps outlined in the ridiculously unhelpful manual. I spent hours researching possible fixes online. I tweaked WM player and my network again and again. I spent hours on the phone talking to ridiculously unhelpful customer service reps until finally reaching one who took the time to walk me through some possible fixes (besides reinstalling the software--that classic get you off the phone CS gimmick).
But it still didn't work. Trust me, I've trudged through the message boards where the same problem popped up again and again with no solution. Because there is no solution. You will not be able to connect your computer directly to this picture frame.
I was able to post pictures online at Kodak's website and then wirelessly transfer them to the frame that way...but that's not why I bought the frame. I bought it because Kodak claimed I could wirelessly transfer pictures directly from my computer.
But it just didn't work.
So I returned the stupid thing.
 Excellent picture quality September 2, 2008
Joe Peterson (Austin, Texas USA)
I've owned and given as gifts several different digital picture frames over the last 5 years. This Kodak frame equals the best of them in terms of picture quality, and is much better than most. The wifi link came up and found my router with no issues.
The user interface is ok, but still a bit clumsy and requires the use of the tiny remote. I have not yet attempted to have the frame link directly to a Kodak gallery online, but that is the main reason I bought it; I just haven't had time to set up a gallery. I'd certainly like it better if it would let you select from Flickr or Picasso rather than requiring you to use a Kodak gallery, since i already have an extensive Flickr site.
I'm not sure why most of the frame manufactures have switched to the wide format; it is not at all compatible with most digital camera aspect ratios. Thus the pictures must either chop off part of the picture (often a critical part that you would NOT want removed, like the subjects head) or resize the picture to fit within the frame, leaving much of the screen empty. It just seems like such a waste.
I have also tried it in both landscape and portrait modes; it works fine.
So I'd give this one a 5 in terms of picture quality, a 3 in terms of 'usable' screen area, and a 4 in terms of the wifi connectivity.
 Buyer Beware--the random slideshow feature lacks functionality September 1, 2008
Vickie Beene Beavers (Atlanta, Ga. United States)
As much as I enjoy the quality of the scrolling pictures in 'slideshow' mode, the relatively simple instructions for set-up using the remote, I am VERY disappointed that once you decide what photographs you want to store on either the SD or USB thumb drive for viewing, the setting for random does NOT work. During the slideshow mode, I was under the impression that the order of the pictures would be rearranged throughout the display. Instead it's the SAME pattern each time you turn the digital frame on. I've tried adding more pictures....deleting pictures to create variety--but no, even my attempt to 'outwit' the unit does not work. Kodak's 'random' version means displaying a picture smaller than its normal view. However, pictures that once appeared smaller STILL appear smaller even after I tried rearranging the photos on my USB or SD memory stick to create variety. One ends up seeing the SAME photo in the SAME sequence ALL THE TIME. This becomes really old real fast.
Granted I bought this unit for it's nice screen display but I also wanted to enjoy the variety of sequenced photo displayed in the powerpoint mode or any other mode for that matter. I or my guest have to physically walk over to the unit to see the smaller photos after it's been running for hours. What's the point? So until Kodak improves that 'random' feature, it only deserves 3 stars from me.
