Digital camera reviews of Kodak EX-811 Easyshare 8-inch Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability
Digital camera Review: Happy, Happy, Happy
Summary: 5 Stars
Im in IT so, when I initially tried to hook this up, I looked into it too much and made it more difficult than I needed. After attempting to hook this through my home wireless network for a second time, it didn't take more than 5 minutes! Music and pictures are loaded and all is well! I have the clear frame in the mail as well so, that I can change it from the black. I love this product! Not having to worry about having enough storage space is exceptional and so worth the extra money for those with wireless networks.Digital camera Review: Hardware is nice - WiFi Software incomplete
Summary: 3 Stars
The hardware for this product works just great. No complaints other than the aspect ratio is odd ( very wide ). The issue I have is with the WiFi interface. As far as I can tell, it is only designed to talk to a UPnP media server. The manual walks you through trying to use Microsoft Media Player (huh?) to handle all of your photos and dish them out to your frame. When that doesn't works ( it didn't for me ), you're stuck. Even if it did work, what are the chances that Windows Vista, or followon OS will still work with the frame 2-3 years from now? Answer - very slim.
Thankfully sneaker-net with a SD flash card works just great. Copy your pics to the card, slap it in the frame.
For WiFi, I was hoping for a simple little application that you would just drag your JPEGs into and the software would transfer the files to the picture frame. Even better would be to have the picture frame show up as a network share drive. No such luck. Kodak simply washes their hands of trying to support WiFi with a simple to use interface. I can't recommend the WiFi Frame as Kodak provides no software to interface with it.
Digital camera Review: I bought three
Summary: 5 Stars
I first bought one of these when it first came out. Now you can buy refurbished ones for $40, which is insanely cheap considering the features of this device. So I bought 2 more :-)
Ok, the remote is not perfect, and the frame responds a bit slow to user input. But it reads from USB, memory cards, and the Kodak Gallery through WiFi. The Gallery is not extremely usable, but you get 2gb of space to upload your pictures for free, and the uploading is extremely fast.
So now I have three of these: one sits at my parents' place, on at my girlfriends' and one at mine. We upload pictures to our Galleries and share them. This is an awesome way to keep in touch; no need to send huge emails or browse to Facebook... just upload it to the Gallery and the frames will download and display the pictures automatically.
Great product!
Digital camera Review: Incredible quality product!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a Sony Picture frame last year before Christmas and ordered this one for a family member. Although Sony comes with a more attractive design but Kodak has a larger and better display, neat wireless system, stereo sound and shows almost all common image files with reasonable price. It would definitely shined more if designed with the capability of visual effect, calendar and clock.Digital camera Review: Junk!
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected more from Kodak. The stand on the back of the frame is flimsy and the frame keeps falling over. Also, its operation was quirky out of the box.
I own some off brands that are better than this.
Stay away.
