Good display, clunky device
Some reviews have been given of this digital photo frame that I feel are too uncritical. I acquired this product at Xmas. First the pros. It's got a very clear LCD display which shows the detail and colours of digital photos accurately and distinctly. It sits very well in our kitchen all day shuffling through the 1000s of photos on my USB stick. It makes the conventional photographs next to it look drab by comparison. On the downside, at 7 inches it's rather small. This is particularly noticeable when photos in portrait mode appear on the screen - they're virtually invisible with black bands on either side. The user interface is poorly designed, unintuitive and slow. The hardware interface is also an issue - the touch sensitive surround, which you use to control the device, is unresponsive (as is the on-off button). These two issues make the device awkward to use. The user manual that comes with the device is thin and pretty useless (actually it is a thick manual but 99% of it is in other languages than English!). In conclusion, it's been a welcome acquisition overall, but it's not perfect and it's not a product to give to someone who is remotely technophobic.

Wow!
I have to admit, I bought this thinking that I may find a few things wrong with it, but I didn't. It is a fantastic photo viewer- the pictures are crystal clear. It is so simple to use. It looks stunning, and it comes with two interchangeable frames. Now, I have to say- they are not very interchangeable. You have to have either one on at any one time- the white one shown has stickers all over it ('Touch here to activate' etc.), and the supplied frames stick to it- it would be extremely hard to peel them off. But, when you do apply either the silver or lipstick red frame, the frame looks brilliant. It has a USB input, but if you want one in permanently, buy a small one- otherwise they stick out of the frame! But it has two SD card slots, and is compatible with SDHC cards- they do not mention this on Amazon! It has a touch border interface, which at times, is slightly unresponsive, but you get used to it. USB sticks sometimes fail to load the pictures on the frame, but this is easily solved. It has two plugs- one European, one square pin. The cable connecting to the mains is hardly discreet, and isn't extremely long either.

But, it is easy to make slideshows, and you can program which times it is on, which is fantastic- but the frame cannot show you the current time on demand. It automatically resizes photos- even high resolutions. It is a fantastic piece of kit, and allows you to copy and delete photos on the frame onto other devices. I love it, but it does not allow you to copy into certain folders within a plugged in device. It doesn't have any memory of it's own- so make sure you have an SD card or USB flash drive. Anyway, it is a fantastic piece of photography hardware, and works flawlessly. I will definitely buy from Kodak again.

The price is brilliant, too- in Argos it is £70

Don't delay! Buy it today!

Nearly a great product !
Very happy with the frame and can definitely recommend it for it's ease of use and picture display, but it does have some annoying features.
It doesn't have an internal battery so it resets itself when unplugged from the mains - you have to re-enter date, times, etc.
When showing photos in "random mode" it appears to go through the same sequence at startup or when using the schedule/timer.
It can be slow when navigating through folders and subfolders to select which photos to dislay. I found it best to not bother making a selection and just switch it off and back on again and it automatically starts showing all photos.
If using a memory stick in the usb port, be aware that most sticks will be visible at the side of the frame as they tend to be too long. It makes you wonder how that got past the design review !
If you want to fill the whole frame with photos you need to select 'fill the frame' mode (or something like that). This will cut off some details around photos. Again, why couldn't they make the digital frame to fit digital photo sizes properly !
Overall, very pleased, apart from these niggles.

Top value for money
I have bought quite a few photo frames for both ourselves and gifts; value for money this is by far the best we have seen. You cannot go wrong go this money

Much appreciated gift
I bought the Kodak P720 Digital photo frame for my Husband's Christmas present. I was over-awed by the amount of different frames around, but after reading the reviews of this frame (and others), decided to buy this one.
We have not been disappointed, the quality of the pictures is so good and it is so easy to use. The slide show option is such a lovely way of showing off your photographs, everyone has been very impressed.
