Digital camera reviews of Kodak EX-811 Easyshare 8-inch Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability
Digital camera Review: BIG FRAME, little picture...
Summary: 2 Stars
Odd, Kodak has been doing this for years, and this is not what people want. The frame is maaassive, and the pictures therefore look small. It's slow to power on, no picture shuffle, no picture/video hybrid playback, poor wireless quality... In short, not living up to it's purported operation or quality. C'mon Kodak!Digital camera Review: Bad Documentation - NO SUPPORT!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Beautiful but difficult
Summary: 3 Stars
The picture quality displayed is great. 5 stars. And the overall package is quite handsome. However, transferring pictures isn't as easy as it is on my daughter's cheap Phillips frame (purchased at Brookstone). The wireless feature is nice, if I had any idea what the password for my wireless network is. but I don't. So I have to rely on cables.
And what's with Kodak loading all their photo-sharing software onto my computer? I suppose I agreed to it. but once it was there, I realized its not what I was looking for (its more for printing out hard copies using their printing service).
But the picture quality is nice once the pics are on the frame!
Digital camera Review: Caution - no random viewing
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Do not purchase!
Summary: 1 Stars
It is really unbelievable to me what a terrible product this is. I am on my second frame because I thought the first one was defective, but I am having the same issues with this one as well. It is EXTREMELY slow, many times not responding to the remote at all. Either the frame freezes or the screen turns black. The only button that works 100% of the time is the on/off button. It takes at least 10 tries to actually connect with kodak gallery to display pictures I have online. I really wanted this frame in particular because I have TONS of photos on kodak gallery, but it is much more effort to get it to work than it's worth. It's a nice idea, but Kodak needs to go back to the drawing board on this one . . . .
