I have just bought this as a Christmas gift for my technophobic mother so that she can see the family's digital photos at her leisure since we are too Scottish to ever print them out on paper for her. I've just opened it up and tried it out for the first time and it has surprisingly good resolution, very good brightness, and plenty of slide show options. However despite other reviewers claiming ease of use, I would disagree (and I am a young technophile with years of VCR, PC, iPod and Microwave experience).
The menu system is slow and browsing thumbnails also takes time, especially when there are a high number of pictures on the card. There is a delay on every operation. Selecting, copying, and deleting photos is clunky and irrational - I immediately deleted the wrong photo by accident because I had it "selected" while actually viewing another (solution: lock your memory cards, read-only your USB sticks).
But the biggest annoyance is the completely counter-intuitive scrolling operation. By western conventions, if I want to look at the next photo, I will press the forward or right hand arrow. But on this device you press the left hand arrow - pointing backwards. This is because Kodak have tried to be overly clever with a dragging operation which just gets tired (and irritates my finger) after browsing through more than a couple of photos. What's wrong with pressing the right hand side of the frame to look at the next photo, and pressing the left hand side to look at the previous one!! The software supplied is also slow and not intuitive to use.
In conclusion, I will see how my mother gets on with this (hopefully she'll do fine), but I fear that she will be too baffled by the controls and too scared of deleting photos to actually use it for browsing when I'm not around - so it will remain purely for slideshows.
Disappointing Kodak - you can do better.

As usual these days the hardware is let down by poor quality software. The frame fails to operate according to the settings (e.g. random mode) when restarted and you have to manually toggle each setting to get it to recognise the values you have already set. Extremely slow to read the contents of a card when inserted (even ultra high speed SD). Overall quite disappointing. See the Kodak web support site for this product for further observations by users. You might want to consider an alternative that actual does what it says on the box.

this is a good product and is exactly what we wanted. the pcture quality is good and it is easy to use.it has no internal memory but has slots of a USB stick or any memory card.
the menu is not as easy as it should be, as i found it a bit harder than i thought to get it to show the photos in a random order.
i also wanted a fade effect from one photo to another but i cant quite get it to only use this effect and not use all the effects - i dont know if this a glitch on my frame or just me. other than that this is a good product and i am happy.
a perfect gift for family or friends.

Good old Kodak!
This is a very good quality product and better, I think, without the standard black edging. What you expect of Kodak.
