Kodak EX-811 Easyshare 8 Inch Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability Review

The Kodak EX-811 is an 8 inch picture frame that delivers a great feature set for a fraction of the price.

There are a number of different digital picture frame models available and they all vary with their features and cost.

With the Kodak EX-811 frame you can view pictures stored on a memory card, view pictures on your computer with Windows Media Player 11, view pictures on the Kodak Gallery, download pictures to the built in memory via USB 2.0, and you can upload pictures from a memory card onto a networked computer. As you can see, the picture frame offers quite a selection of features.

The 8 inch digital frame enables users to create slideshows of their pictures and video with music playing in the background. This is an ideal wedding or house-warming gift. The frames can change colors as defined by the Kodak Color Science platform. The device features an easy to use interface that offers JPEG, MPEG1/4, MOV, and AVI support. Additionally, the pictures and videos can be stored on a memory card (SF, SD, MCC, xD and MS). Users can even upload files to the digital frame via a Jump Drive and Flash Drive.

The frame uses stereo speakers for virtual surround sound. This Kodak Easyshare Digital Picture Frame with Wireless Capability offers a crisp display capable of showing images at a resolution of 800 x 480 with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Pictures can be accessed wirelessly via KODAK Gallery. The frame only has 128 MB of internal storage, however; it offers a headphone jack for intimate listening.

Overall, the frame costs much less than other similar sized models, however; the lack of widgets and internal memory are disadvantages. This digital frame has positive user reviews, with most people being very satisfied with their purchase. The frame is backed by a reputable company, Kodak, and easily integrates with other Kodak services. Wireless file transfer would have been a nice addition to this mid range model.

The Kodak digital picture frame resembles a framed 5 x 7 photograph and is not very thick. It will definitely fit on a bookshelf, nightstand, or desk. Unlike other models, the EX-811 cannot be wall mounted. This digital frame is ideal for grandparents, moms and dads, as well as the young business professional looking to showcase their work. In general, the picture frame is made out of quality products and materials. The LCD screen is bright enough for the brightest of rooms and can be adjusted to conserve energy. The wireless technology leaves a little to be desired, however; for the price range it is an ideal purchase.
