Digital camera reviews of Kodak EasyShare P820 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame
Digital camera Review: Kodak P820
Summary: 3 Stars
This review is for the Kodak P820 digital photo frame.
I spent about three hours trying to figure out exactly what the ideal resolution is for this photo frame. It is 16:9 aspect ratio which is great, however, other reviewers here and elsewhere say 800x480 is ideal which is inaccurate. That will produce less than ideal results. So, 16:9 is 1.78 aspect ratio which means that 854x480 is the best resolution for this frame. That resolution will fill the entire width/height without any stretching or cropping.
I do not recommend trying anything larger than this, when the photos get too large they will take a lot longer to load and may even reduce the quality of the photos when displayed.
I do not know if the included software makes this easy to figure out but I spent quite a bit of time working with Adobe Photoshop and created a cropping preset for 854x480 cuts which ended up working out for making beautifully displayed photos on the P820.
My frame arrived with a couple stuck pixels which is disappointing but not show-stopping since they are not really noticeable while the frame is displaying a slideshow.
The shuffle option is only mildly impressive. When it "shuffles" it "shuffles" exactly the same way every time you tell it to play a slideshow of all your photos. After watching it a couple times I knew what the next few photos were going to be in the sequence. To me, that is not a shuffle.
The viewing angles and features are decent but I guess I expect more for something that costs almost about half as much as a 19" widescreen LCD monitor.
I have an 8" GiiNii frame which performs well and looks just as good at less than half the cost of this frame.
3/5 stars.
Digital camera Review: Kodak frame
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product very easy to use, easy slide show all you need is a sd memory card and a card reader just drag n drop pics to the card plug it in and go.Digital camera Review: Love this digital photo frame!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this digital photo frame for my mom as a Mother's Day gift. We took it on vacation with us to New Orleans. We were able to see the pics so much better than the view screen on her camera. We actually went out and did "retakes" that we wouldn't have just looking at the camera screen.
She loves it and takes it out to play with every day.
The 8" screen is amazingly clear. The instructions are easy to understand. I can't remember the last time I gave her a Mother's Day gift she got so much entertainment from! Better than the jewelry or flowers I usually give her.
Digital camera Review: Nice present
Summary: 5 Stars
I gave this to my mother, is very easy to use, and very nice quality. The touch button in side and bottom are very useful.Digital camera Review: Not what the picture shows
Summary: 3 Stars
This product is decent, but it is not the picture shown. It does not come with the black frame faceplate, nor can you buy one to go with this model. I was very disappointed with this since I think it doesn't look as much like a picture frame without the frame! If you don't care about this, I'm sure it will be a fine purchase.
