Nice little product September 30, 2008 T. Hurley (New York, NY USA) Very fine little picture frame, like the timer on/off, like the remote, like the slideshow. Don't like that you have to reset the clock/timer everytime you switch it off, little tricky to navigate without the remote (so don't lose it!). Great for standard 640x480 pics, but even better for shots taken in widescreen.
WiFi is subpar September 30, 2008 Skeet I like the picture frame but the WiFi doesn't work well. It works but not like they lead you to believe if you want to run pics directly from your computer. In that mode the scheduler doesn't work, the sorting or random play doesn't work(you will always see the oldest pictures first and follow in chronilogical order) and and frame will lock up often if it doesn't like a pic. Overall very poor firmware. Support said they are releasing an update soon, but who wants to wait and who knows if it will be better. So I returned it.
Can Most of the Reviews be Correct ? September 27, 2008 LotteryMan43 (Watertown,CT USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, before I purchased the Frame, I read as many reviews as I could. Still, I took a chance. I wanted to use it for both Videos and Photographs.
Now, most of the Reviewers are on the money on this one. It depends on how you're going to use the Frame and if you're lucky enough to have the correct Video format on your camera/recording device.
PHOTOGRAPHS:
1. Does a great job of Displaying, Fading, Zooming, Pausing, and allowing control of your "Stills".
2. The Display Quality is Excellent.
VIDEOS: Here's the rub, as follows:
1. Some AVI and some MOV will play. Mostly those taken with a digital camera will work, but not always. I tried some from a top Olympus camera, and they played out of sync with the audio and video.
2. If you perform any Editing on your Videos, they usually will not play.
3. If you converted from one Format to another, such as WMV to MOV or AVI, they will not play.
4. I tried two Webcams, and those videos, in correct format or converted, would not play.
5. Kodak Support told me that unedited MOV and AVI MPEG4 and MJPEG taken with a Digital Camera would play, if used with Audio G.711. However, this was NOT always the case.
Audio Only:
1. I did not try any Audio only insertions.
CONCLUSION: 5 Stars for Photographs and 1 Star for Videos = 3 Stars Overall.
good value September 25, 2008 autocrafter (midwest) I thought it was a great buy for the money, just wish it would have come with a little bit of memory.
Close but not quite September 22, 2008 D. Butler (UT, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this particular frame because of price and other reviews. While I am not totally disliking the frame I am a little disappointed with some of the features. There is an option to turn the frame off at night and then back on in the morning. It turns off and on fine but will not start showing pictures again without intervention. Managing pictures and music on the frame is PAINFULLY slow. The screen is great, clear and sharp though.
