  - MISLEADING PRODUCT!At first, I thought my pictures looked very good on this--bright and beautiful. But after it played through all my photos, I realized none of my video clips played, which it claimed to be able to do. I went into the menu and manually selected my video clips, only to be told "that format is not supported." Confused, I went back into the manual and was told to go online for a detailed list of all supported video formats. When I did so, I saw that my video clips were clearly in the format that Kodak claims the frame can play. So I called tech support, got transferred 3 times to different people who couldn't figure out what the problem was. Finally, after having been on the phone for about 30 minutes, I got a rep who said my problem was that I didn't shoot my video clips on a Kodak camera (I have a Canon). I told him that NOWHERE on the box or manual or any published materials I can find does it say that the frame can only play clips from a Kodak camera. The rep insisted this was the problem so I asked him why Kodak doesn't make it clear--i.e. printing it right on the box--that the frame is only compatible with Kodak cameras (at least for video clips) so people like me wouldn't have to waste their time buying the product if our camera is a different make. He said he didn't know why it's not mentioned, apologized for my trouble and that was that. I'm not an angry customer. I'm simply trying to save you some time and trouble if you're considering buying this and expecting it to play your videos from a non-Kodak camera. I wasted a LOT of time trying to figure this out, only to regrettably return it. Rating: - Expected more from this frameFirst of all, it is hard to tell from the pictures of the frame, but it is made entirely of plastic. I was hoping for some better quality materials for a picture frame that cost $150. The screen on the frame is very nice, bright, good colors, etc. The 16x9 aspect ratio is a real pain. I had to go and manually crop all of the photos I wanted to place on the frame so they would look ok. I am sure that the frame would have adjusted the photos for me, but the results would be unpredictable. I would prefer a 4x3 ratio if I had the choice. The frame has some nice options. I like that it has a timer, but I wish it had the option for separate weekday and weekend settings. This way if I have it at the office like I intend, it won't be running all day on the weekend. Of course I could turn off the frame before I leave, but what are the chances I will remember that on a Friday afternoon. Also, and here is the major deal breaker for me, there is no random/shuffle slide show. The slide show always starts with the first file in memory. To top it off, whenever the frame is turned off, it starts at he beginning again, not where it left off. So if I put 1000 pictures on the frame and have them change every minute, my timer turns the frame on at 8 in the morning and off at 5 in the evening, I will look at the same 500 pictures everyday at the same time in the same order, and never see all the pictures past 500. The only way you will ever see all of the pictures on the frame is to leave it on all the time, speed up the time between pictures, which is annoying for me, or have fewer pictures. If the frame would at least start off where it finished, that would be somewhat acceptable, but it doesn't even do that. Anyway, I am going to send this frame back and look for another one. I have nothing against Kodak, and I may even look at some of the other Kodak frames, but I definitely would not recommend this one. Rating:  - Works OK but not perfectCould never get the frame to download photo from my Mac. The only way was to use a memory card to get photos on the frame. It looks good and is a nice unit for the price. Rating:  - picture framI bought 2 of these for Christmas for my 2 children. The frames are turned on all the time, in both homes. Photos of the children run continuously, and they work easily and were easy to load. So glad I bought them. Rating: - Good product with limited featuresFor a simple display of pictures, this product met my needs. I have not yet tried the music feature. The user-menu options are tedious and not user-friendly. In addition, you need the remote to make most of the changes, including basic features such as brightness, etc. So, if you lose the remote, you will not be able to access most features. Once settings are adjusted, the photos look nice. However, with just 2 features for "Fill Screen" and "Fit photo", either the picture gets chopped from the bottom or the picture gets crunched. Hence, the product is new technology with limited features - dont expect much other than a illuminated display of pictures which is a good talking point with guests, etc. I was disappointed that Amazon did not ask for the country of usage, and hence sent me the standard US power cord, although I planned to use the product in India - this meant I had to buy an additional transformer. |
