So Impressed I bought a Second One
I just bought one of these and was so impressed I bought a second one.
I'd been toying with the idea of getting one of these for a while and the 10" ones are now a reasonable price.
I didn't install any of the software: just copied images to a CF memory card and plugged it in. The frame detects this and starts to play images from the card.
First thing I did before any of this, was to get the latest firmware from Kodak website.
Unfotunately, th...

Ok, but no random viewing
I bought this as a gift for my husband to use in his office. It was very easy to setup and overall I liked it. However, I ended up returning it because there was so setting where you could set the pictures to be displayed randomly. My husband set up the frame with the timer so it would turn on and off at set times, but because there was no random setting he saw the same pictures, in the same order, every day. I got a 2GB SD card to go with it, so there was a vast umber of pictures that he wo...

Caution - no random viewing
I bought this as a gift for the grandparents. Loaded about 800 pictures on an SD card and turned it on. The image is very nice. But I noticed that the first picture displayed was the first I added to the card.
Hmm. Turned it off, then back on. Same thing.
Then I looked at the manual (which is inside the box, obviously) where it says that pictures are displayed in the order added.
Very bad!
You'll never see the last 700 pictures unless you sit through the first 100, e...

Do NOT use EasyShare Software
As others mentioned, the documentation for the picture frame is horrible. Thus, I decided to hook the frame to my MacBook Pro using the supplied USB cable and transfer images. For some reason I could not eject the disk image after transferring the images from my computer to the frame and when I disconnected the USB cord it seemed to corrupt several of the images which in turn caused the frame to malfunction when it encountered the first corrupt image. Fortunately turning the power off and the...

Met Expectations But...
I purchased six Kodak SV-811 8-inch Digital Picture Frames as Christmas gifts for my wife and grown children. Prior to my purchase, I searched CNET and other electonic portals to check reviews by professional reviewers, ratings by users, and price. I zeroed in on Kodak's 7 and 8 inche models.
Each gift was preloaded with relevant family pictures and each family member received 1 gig ScanDisk to put their own digital show on.
The Kodak 8 inch frame met my expectations.

Limited File Name Lengths Cause Pain!
We bought this frame to send to grand parents and loaded many photos on it. Long file names were used to keep track of the various locations and dates. After much testing we found that there is not enough memory allocated to file names to allow long file names. We had 160 photos totaling about 60MB in size. After much gnashing of teeth we renamed all files 1 through 160. That solved the problem but now grandma and grandpa will not be able to see the descriptive titles. Otherwise a good pro...

GREAT GIFT! SIMPLE TO USE!
Bought this as a gift for one of those "hard to buy for" people in my life (an inlaw), and it was a hit! VERY simple to use, LOVE that it has internal memory-I put about 55 pictures on the internal memory before wrapping it and left it up to the new owner to decide if they needed to purchase an additional memory card or not. The on/off timer is a great perk, you can set the frame to turn on/off every morning and evening at a specified time. The remote control is another great perk, you have the ...

A solid offering from Kodak
My review is based on the SW-811 8-inch frame.
I am generally quite pleased with this frame. As you may find out, as of May 2007, the digital frame market is really all over the place. There are a lot of smaller vendors, and functionality and quality varied quite a bit. Based on my research, I think this frame stacks up very well.
The Kodak frame worked wonderfully right out of the box. The ability to use different memory formats is an outstanding offering, since I ...

Great digital frame...with some hiccups
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 ful...

Critical Flaw - No Random Slide Show
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...
