Digital camera reviews of Kodak EX-811 Easyshare 8-inch Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability
Digital camera Review: Love it!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I'm not a professional photographer but I do know what I like. Great product. I am very satisfied. Great picture.Digital camera Review: Misleading description.
Summary: 2 Stars
We returned the frame without even trying to load it. Very disappointed to see the frame opening was 8" on the diagonal which makes it much smaller than a regular 8" frame.Digital camera Review: My husband loved this gift!
Summary: 4 Stars
Hubby said this was very easy to use. Frame looks nice. The only comment he had about it was that random sorting would be nice. He has this in his office and enjoys seeing all his loved ones at work.
Digital camera Review: Nice frame
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband and I bought this for his mother. It was easy to use and looked great. I'd been reading reviews and specs for many frames, and didn't find one in our price range (under $200) that had everything we wanted (good resolution, remote, black or wood frame (not white), picture cycling times including longer cycles of >5 minutes, etc.). The only shortcoming we found with this frame, which I knew going in, was that the aspect ratio was not the same as that of our camera, and that pictures would be cropped to fit. That's what happened, but it was fine. Few pictures suffered noticeably, and even those that would have been better uncropped were fine. I figure we always have the original to print or resize for the frame, if we want to.Digital camera Review: Nice start - now finish the product
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice clear display and has great features, but some features are incomplete. No additional charges required to use the wireless feature with the Kodak Gallery which is nice. Overall, I can recommend this frame at least at the price I paid for it, but beware that this frame has been thrown on the market before all of its features have been implemented.
Two biggest complaints :
1) The setup works fine and is pretty intuitive, although if you want to or need to manually enter your network information, it could take you hours if you make a mistake in using the remote to enter the information; one mistake, and you have to start all over pushing lots of buttons on the remote to navigate through menus and enter data. Took me over two hours to configure wireless capability, but most people may just use the auto setup which may work fine and be much faster. And I had to re-enter all the setup information again after I updated the firmware.
2) The auto-on/off feature is a GREAT idea except it has not been fully implemented. The frame turns on alright, but it displays the setup screen which requires user intervention to navigate through menus to get the frame to display actual pictures. Maybe this scenario occurs only if there is no media card in the frame, but the frame should be configurable to go to the Kodak Gallery when no card is detected and start displaying images from there. Duh! I am not even going to mention the fact that you will get nice little icons burned into your display if the frame always turns on to the same set up menu and sits there for hours. Well, I guess I did mention it.
I hope Kodak is working on updating the firmware and completing what they have started. I bought this frame for my parents for Christmas hoping to set it up to turn on automatically and display recent family pictures from the Kodak Gallery. Sounded like a good idea at the time. Still waiting for a firmware update...
