 wireless implementation is a joke August 10, 2007
49 out of 71 found this review helpful
Do yourself a favor and skip this product for following reasons:
* Wireless implementation is a joke and not working if you want to add security to your network (only works when removing encryption which you really do not want to do on your WiFi network). I am a network engineer with 10+ years of experience and this frame is the crapiest WiFi implementation I've ever seen.
* Interface is real clunky.
* The frame can not auto start and display pictures out of your kodak gallery without the need to go play around with the remote.
* Technical support is a frustrating experience: Long wait and they do not know a whole lot either.
* A very frustrating experience really... Too bad I can not give 0 stars on this one.
 **Updated - still a great digital frame...with some hiccups September 27, 2007

***Updated 9/27/08 - I still really like this digital frame - I purchased 5 and all 5 are still kicking with daily use. I use the auto on-off program feature which is so nice. It still won't accept the mini flash drives and there are still ocassional hiccups with edited pictures. Honestly, I don't expect this to last much past another couple of years. Still, I like it and I'm waiting for Kodak to come out with a 15" frame. I've looked at almost all the others and just don't like the quality - not worth the price yet until Kodak enters this market.
I really like this ditigal frame and I actually bought 5 - 3 are going to be christmas gifts. 2 major warnings: 1) don't even think of loading the software that comes with the frame - you don't need it in any way. Just plug in a flash drive stick or SD card and it automatically works. Just plug into your computer with synch cord and let Windows recognize it and do all the work, and then add pics on to the jump drive from your computer. 2) Mini flash drives do NOT work on this frame! Only full-size flash drives. From what I read on message boards, it has to do with if you are using edited and cropped .jpeg files, which I do use. In any case, the only way around this so far that I've found is to use a full-size flash drive, NOT a mini drive. The problem is the full-size drive protrudes out from the edge of the frame and is visible. Not very cool. I haven't tried the SD card yet and that would be invisible but not nearly as easily synchable with any computer since you would have to have a card reader. With a flash drive, I can add or change pics from any computer. I don't have that capability with an SD card.
I know it's strange, but I still really like the quality of the picture and the size of this frame for the low price even tho you can't use a mini flash drive. This is just my 2 cents worth.
I had absolutely no trouble at all buying from Amazon and from Ace Digital Photo. Package arrived as described and it came very very fast for just the regular, standard shipping.
 When Digital Picture Quality Counts May 13, 2007
39 out of 41 found this review helpful
I'm an amateur digital SLR photographer with a large collection of digital family pictures and outdoor travel sceneries. The last few months I decided to seriously start looking for the right digital picture frame that would showcase my pictures to family and friends. My main criteria in choosing the right digital picture frame were; picture clarity, vibrant color definition, easy to set-up/use, and at a good price-to-value ratio.
The Kodak EasyShare EX1011 Digital Picture frame met my expectations and then some. It wasn't my first Digital Picture Frame; I actually purchased another brand 10" digital frames based on some good reviews. Unfortunately when I received the other brand and started to use it, the picture quality was lower than I expected and was missing a lot of other functionality that the Koday EasyShare had.
The Kodak EasyShare, worked like a champ right out of the box. From the packaging to the instruction manual to the first time you see your pictures on the screen, you knew you were getting a quality product. Here's where the Kodak EasyShare picture frame shines:-
Easy to follow instructions. Set up basic system in 15 minutes; add another 15 minutes for WiFi hook up.
Can be viewed from different angle and has minimal glare.
WiFi capability(EX models only). Once you activated the Wi-Fi capability you get other options like. You can share videos, music and pictures directly from your computer. Use Kodak's Gallery via the internet. Enable automatic time updates via the internet.
Enable automatic start and stop time function.
I take away one star from my ratings because of minor issues.
You can't hang up the EasyShare on the wall easily. Kodak provides one middle hook, but because the picture frame electronics is not balanced properly the picture frame ends up being tilted. Be careful when trying to hook the system to the wall, place a pillow or something soft to break the fall. In the end, I found that the safest place for the digital frame is on the center table.
Price is a little higher than most picture frames, but the old adage "You get what you pay for."
No randomize picture capability.
Detail wireless media connections (to share files from computer) are only available online. Go online to download the wireless media connection instructions. [...]
If you are looking for a quality digital picture frame that showcases your pictures in higher definition and quality, you will be pleasantly surprise with the Kodak EasyShare.
Critical Flaw - No Random Slide Show December 30, 2007
34 out of 36 found this review helpful
I picked up this picture frame as a gift for my wife, thinking that the name (Kodak) would get me a better quality frame than some of the unknown brands out there. Well, I was partially right... the display is gorgeous, the frame seems well-built, and the feature set is rich. My initial assessment was strong enough to give the frame 4 stars.
However, after using the frame for less than an hour, I believe that this device has one fatal flaw that ruins it. There is no way to have the frame pick pictures randomly to display in the slide show. There is no shuffle play! This means that every time you start it up, you see the exact same pictures in the exact same order as last time.
The "Getting Started" guide sums it up this way: "The pictures and videos - on the card or device you inserted - are displayed in the order they're stored on the card or device." IMHO, when you've got hundreds of pictures on an SD card, you'd like to see a variety, a sampling of what you've got, not the same ones in the same order every time. To me, this is such a basic feature that I didn't even think to look for it. That's my mistake, to be sure, but I hope that others can learn from my mistake.
BTW, I played around with different ways to change the order, including changing the last modified dates of the files, the names of the files, the creation dates of the files, and the last accessed dates of the files, but to no avail. I'd take the SD card, put it in my computer, tweak the files, then put the card back in the frame, only to see the exact same pictures in the exact same order as before I changed anything. Very frustrating, and very disappointing.
Until Kodak fixes this problem with a firmware upgrade, there is no way I could recommend that anyone buy this frame. I'm still searching for a good one.
 Digital picture frame June 8, 2007
26 out of 29 found this review helpful
I always liked looking at slides but with the advent of digital photography slides were "out of the picture". However this digital picture frame is the best thing going and I feel I am again looking at slides. Everyone who see this frame has shown an interest in purchasing one.
How Did I find this frame? I did an extensive search on the web and finally decided on this unit. For the money it offers so much of everything I wanted. The three features I really like are wifi from my home computer to the frame. That means I can send the picture right to the frame. Second, the price which is very competitive. Third, every memory chip I have goes directly into the frame and I can connect the frame directly to a computer using the supplied USB cable. There are many other features and all are great. If there is a better frame I do not know of it.
One slight problem. In order to use the wifi I had to install Microsoft's SP2. I did not want to do that but I eventually did. Not happy about that feature.
