Customer Reviews: Average Rating:
Rating : - Good picture quality - but the software is horrible This was purchased as a Christmas present for me. I spent almost the entire afternoon trying to load the software and make it work. It messed up my computer so bad I had to restore it to get it back. I tried just about everything including updating the firmware, uninstalling and re-installing; nothing worked. I gave up. The software is bloated and poorly engineered.
On the box it states it comes with a USB cable to attach it to your computer. You won't find one in the box. You will need either a fire wire cable or a USB Male to Male cable which isn't very common. In the manual, Kodak states that you don't get the cable. Nice touch Kodak!
Kodak makes a big deal about it having 128mb's of internal memory. With 2 Gigabyte SD cards costing so little today I don't know why this is a selling point. It also isn't easy to access the internal memory. In my opinion the front controls are confusing to learn and not intuitive. Once I figured it out, it was fine. There also isn't any battery backup so once you unplug the unit you have to set it up again.
On the positive side, this frame does have a very nice picture and colors are sharp and detailed. The frame is nice looking and I like that you can customize the frame borders. It's also nice that it accepts multiple different types of memory cards.
Once I downloaded my picture folders from my computer onto it from Google's Picasa software, it ran without a hitch. I'm not sure why anyone would even attempt to use Kodak's terrible and bloated software when you can download an excellent free program like Picasa. I know this isn't a review for Picasa, but this is a brilliant piece of software! Kodak would have been better off just pointing people to a link to download Picasa.
Overall, I give it only 2 stars because the software is so bad and Kodak hasn't even admitted there are problems with it. (Yes I tried it on two different computers and had problems on both) I also found there was no support on their website for any software problems. Not coming with a cable to connect to your computer is also a joke these days.
In my opinion there are better frames out there for your money. I have decided to keep it since it does have a nice look and displays my pictures well, however, knowing what I know now, I would never purchase it again.
