Product Description The Kodak Easyshare EX-811 digital picture frame plays vibrant slideshows of your favorite pictures and video set to music. The frames are color-tuned to Kodak standards and use Kodak Color Science for vibrant colors and pleasing skin tones - displaying pictures in brilliant color and crisp detail. Set up is a snap, and you can enjoy any JPEG picture, most video types (MPEG 1 and 4, MOV, AVI) and MP3 music using all the popular memory card formats (CF, SD, MMC, xD and MS). You can also source digital files from any digital still camera, home PC, Jump Drive and Flash Drive via USB 2.0. Stereo speakers are built into the frames for dramatic sound accompaniment to your slide shows. The 8-inch (diagonal) 800 x 480 high resolution digital display features a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as wireless access of pictures, videos and music from your home PC or online at KODAK Gallery over a standard wireless home network. The frame has 128 MB of built-in memory for storing pictures and videos, built-in stereo speakers, and headphone jack for music. Reviews 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. I bought this for my wife's parents who are allergic to technology. They live in another state so we thought a digital frame might work nicely. This Kodak EX-811 seemed like a good deal. Other frames I've seen have monthly fees and that was a no go. I was a little weary of it based on other reviews. I tested it out at my house on my network and the setup was relatively easy. At first it didn't recognize my router. Turning the frame on and off fixed this. After that I was able to connect easily. I set up an account on [...]. Again I had to turn it off and back on after entering my login info. After that I was easily able to navigate my albums and friends albums' from the frame. Wi-fi setup at two other homes also worked after turning on and off the frame. It works with WPA2 although it is slow to navigate the onscreen keyboard with the remote. To simplify the setup for the in-laws we deleted all local pictures and created a single album on [...]. All of the children share the account and add to the album when needed. We didn't want to complicate things by connecting it to their computer or the Kodak software. A couple of things I didn't like were that it didn't seem like there was any type of order to the pictures. It was supposed to be by date, but I'm not sure what info it uses. I also would have liked to be able to do a slideshow across multiple albums at the same time. Otherwise you have to open each album separately. Pros - easy and stable connection to wi-fi - simple to use interface - remote control has a nice dock if you are not hanging up the frame. - photos look excellent. Cons - had to turn the frame on and off during setup to get certain things recognized. - 2 GB of space on Kodak Gallery for $5/year (I wish it was more space and free). - lacks a lot of options for slide shows and sorting (of course this is also keeps it simple) Overall, this is a great item at an excellent price. Great for in-laws, set it up with simple options and then leave it alone. My wife wants one for us now. This product works pretty well except for the fact that any photo I try to upload, it complains that it's 'bad'. After scorging the net, I found that if I bring it in to Photoshop and Save for Web, then it all works fine....but what if I didn't have Photoshop? That single issue is enough for me to only give this 2 stars. After all, for those non-graphically inclined, it would render the product useless. Also, the language options, leave much to be desired (what's with no East Asian character support?) It was a gift that I sent. They said it was easy to set up and use. Odd, Kodak has been doing this for years, and this is not what people want. The frame is maaassive, and the pictures therefore look small. It's slow to power on, no picture shuffle, no picture/video hybrid playback, poor wireless quality... In short, not living up to it's purported operation or quality. C'mon Kodak!
