Kodak Easyshare P720 Digital Picture Frame with Home Decor Kit

I had a horrible digital photo frame on my desk at work. The quality of the images was very poor, the light settings were very low, and there was no way to get into the settings without the remote (so when the battery in the remote died that was a huge issue). I was putting up with it though. Finally last week, it died, so it was time for me to decide what to get to replace it.After a lot of research and reading reviews both here and on other sites, I finally settled on this frame. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, being that the listed resolution was pretty low, but I figured anything could be better than what I had.All I can say is I definitely made the right decision. Because this frame was just for my desk at work, it didn't need to be anything amazing. That said, I've already found more than I expected in this frame and am loving it.Even with there being a "low" resolution listed, the pictures are crisp, clear and bright. I am using an SD card to which I exported a big chunk of photos from iPhoto on my Mac (knowing that the frame didn't "support" Mac) and have had no issues at all.The frame menus make sense and there are quite a lot of features available. The ability to change how the photos fill the screen is great and being able to chose duration and transitions is something I didn't expect.The touch border is a great way to navigate the menus versus pushing buttons on a remote or on the frame while trying to view the screen at the same time.The fact that you can change the positioning of the stand is also a great feature in my opinion. For those who have a lot of portrait formatted photos, you can tell the frame to work in portrait mode, change the stand location, and you're all set. Plus, in both portrait and landscape mode, you have two options on where to put the stand so you can chose the best visibility point for your location.Probably my favorite feature of this frame is the ability to have it turn on and off automatically. This is great for me because I often will rush out of the office, forgetting to turn it off. With the timer you have the ability to set an on and off time to the minute and it works wonderfully.All in all, for the price, you just can't beat this little frame. Sure if you're looking for something to put up on a wall and display family photos, it may not be what your best bet but for me, being a desktop frame so I could look at photos of my wonderful son all day, it's put a huge smile on my face.

This is the review for the 7-in frame, since Amazon has yet to figure out that they need distinct reviews for each distinct model (hello, Amazon?).Fantastic aesthetics on the frame, my wife and I were impressed, and my mother-in-law was even more impressed when she unwrapped it for Christmas. The frame is beautiful, and the red matte contrasts perfectly between the dark frame and white touch border.The software on this frame is awesome, once you get used to the touch border and how to use the controls. This software seriously saved my keester. Story:I neglected to order a SD card reader for the extra SD card I had laying around and planned to use for this frame, since I figured my wife's camera would have no trouble allowing us to transfer pictures from her computer onto the blank SD card if it is was in her camera. I was wrong, and the camera only let you transfer photos from Camera-to-PC, and not PC-to-Camera. Of course, being the master of procrastination that I am, I had waited until Christmas Eve to figure this out. My wife was unhappy with me, and all the nerd knobs in my brain started turning to devise a solution.Alas, I found a USB memory stick with enough space to store the photos, but it was so long that it stuck out beyond the frame. Great. Remember how I said the software saved my keester? Guess what folks, once I had the USB stick and the SD card plugged into the frame, the software built into the frame allowed me to copy the photos from the USB stick over to the SD card. Kodak, me and my keester thank you.All-in-all a really well built frame. In a non-widescreen format, and a bit sharper resolution, this frame would be a perfect 5 stars. As it stands, the frame will either "windowpane" photos, or automatically zoom in on them to fill the screen but then you can't control the cropping that occurs. Of course, you can manually crop in an image editing program, but if you're buying for someone who is not computer savvy, you probably want to remain as hands-off as possible, and preferably just have them dump their digital photos to the SD card and go. The resolution doesn't lend itself well to close-up inspection, or to capturing vivid detail in images (did that hummingbird have 3 eyes?), but it's inexpensive if you catch the right deal, and it looks great from across the room.Mother-in-laws everywhere need one of these, or a bigger brother of it.
