 A (Nearly) Full-Featured Digital Picture Frame (4+ Stars) November 18, 2008

This Kodak EasyShare P720 digital frame is a generation beyond the earlier models. With its touch border that allows the user to set up a slide show from a variety of options, the interface is friendly for even someone not entirely comfortable with new technology.
The unit comes with a black frame and two colored mattes (burgundy and silver) to dress up the look. Photos can be introduced either through a USB device or a memory card. Old digital frames used to have individual slots for the different kinds of memory cards, but the EasyShare has a single one that accommodates SD, XD, MMC, and MS cards. The included CD with EasyShare software is for Windows only; however, Mac software is available on the Kodak site. The best part of this frame is that you don't need the software to use it right out of the box. Simply stick in a memory device, turn it on, and the frame begins displaying. The only features this frame is missing that some more advanced models have are wireless connectivity and MP3 playback.
The EasyShare can be oriented for horizontal or vertical use. Because the device "letterboxes" photos not laid out in the same manner as the frame, the best look comes from a selection of photographs taken in the same manner -- for example, all horizontal photos for the horizontal display option. Choose from two different angles for table top display or mount it on the wall (hanging hardware not included); the white power cord is meant to be unobtrusive against a light background.
For a special gift, load up a memory card or USB device with family pictures and insert it in the frame before wrapping. We did this a couple of years ago with a different model for our parents, and they spent a lot of time watching and reminiscing within minutes of opening the gift.
IMPORTANT: I just learned that this review has been incorrectly cross-posted to the pages for both the P720 and the W820 frames. This review is for the P720, not the W820. Amazon has been notified of the bug.

Great for the office desk! November 24, 2008

In the age of digital cameras, digital photo frames are the logical next step. Why be restricted to displaying a single picture? In truth, I am a little surprised it took this long for them to get onto the market! Even so, it has taken while for them to get up to speed on functionality/affordability. With the "Kodak EasyShare P720 Digital Picture Frame" they have finally arrived.
Easy, absolutely no-fuss and with no need to be technical savvy, this digital picture frame is totally cool. Just pop the memory card out of your camera and pop it into the frame and you can watch your pictures unfold. There are some bonus features on the frame, all of which are accessed by a simple touch mechanism around the boarder, which means you don't have to dirty up the screen by constant pressing. Most of the features involve length of time between pictures and how they will transition.
The screen itself isn't too big, and kind of disappears in the home but is just perfect for a desk at work. Almost everyone keeps a few pictures of their family at the office, and the range of pictures available on this digital photo frame is all the better. It also means that you can easily change the photos just by bringing in a new memory chip. When work gets tough you can look at your latest vacation photos and drift away into good memories!
The frame does not include a memory chip, so isn't complete right out of the box. Obviously, all digital cameras will have a memory chip but if you use that then you won't be able to take more pictures! I like the USB drive option, which will not only hold more photos but makes it really easy to change out your selection. In fact, if you were going to give the EasyShare frame as a give, I would recommend packaging it with a USB flash drive like the Kingston 8GB DataTraveler USB flash drive - High Speed USB, maybe already loaded up with some photographs.
I like it for basic photos December 9, 2008

When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)
Kodak Quality is going up! A nice digital frame. P720 Review - Becareful of the review before you purchase. November 17, 2008

Amazon has clumped all of the reviews for the Kodak EasyShare Digital frames into one page. It is important you read the review for the product you wish to purchase; my review is for the P720.
Kodak may have been late to the digital bandwagon, but they have in recent years stepped up the quality significantly. This digital frame has plenty of memory for photos at "its" resolution. Before you look at the fact it only has a small amount of memory. The screen is small enough so that a 480x234 image looks fine. A way to get more on the frame is to purchase a really large SD Memory card and bump up the amount of storage available.
Not a bad way to bring old technology (like a picture frame) up to today's technology!
It is VERY easy to set up and if you are going to give this as a gift for a not-so tech savvy person you can rest assured it is very simple to use. What a better way to send an awesome gift this year.
Pros:
>> Easy to use interface
>> Solidly built, sure to become an heirloom
>> Photos/Video
>> Wonderful quality
Cons:
<< Not wireless P720
<< Moderate size internal memory
Thank you for reading my review.

I purchased two of these as gifts for family. I uploaded pictures onto them and plan on giving them as gifts for Christmas. This frame has a touch 'border'--the screen is not activated for touch. Arrows point to locations on the border that you touch. It is nice that there are no buttons, but I am worried that my older family might have trouble figuring it out.
I purchased a 2 GB SD flash memory card to use with this. The memory card does not fit into my computer. In order to transfer pictures from my computer to my frame, I first open up my photos and drag the ones I want onto my desktop (I have a macbook). I connect my digital camera to my computer. Then I select all of the photos and move them to my digital camera, which has a thumbnail memory card. After they copy, I disconnect my camera from my computer and connect it to the frame-the frame has a USB drive. This same operation could easily be done with a flash drive instead of a camera. I insert the 2 GB SD card into the frame and then turn on the camera and my pictures appear. I go to "home" choose "actions" and then "select all." Next I choose "copy" and then for copy to I select the 2 GB SD card. In a few minutes, all of the pictures are transferred to the 2 GB SD card. This is kind of an annoying process and I really doubt that my older family members that I am giving these to could ever figure that out. I plan on transferring pictures onto the camera for them when I visit.
Otherwise, there are a lot of functions. The pictures can be stretched to fit the screen or left in 4x6 with black bars on the sides (I think this looks better). Also, you can select how long images are displayed, between 3 seconds and 1 hour. The image colors are almost true to the actual images. The images are a bit grainy up close, which is disappointing. A lot of my images are very high resolution (over 10 megapixels), and even those images are a bit grainy. From a distance, this is not noticeable, but the image is pretty small--from a distance you can't even really the pictures so of course the grainy-ness doesn't show.
The camera connects with a fairly long white cord (I would have preferred black) and the frame is attractive. All in all, I am happy with this purchase. Make sure you have a way of transferring your pictures to it because unfortunately, it is not as simple as plugging the frame into your computer (which I had been hoping for). Digital picture frames are still pretty expensive, but I am happy that I chose a Kodak over the other brands offered. I did a LOT of research about the different frames available before making my purchase and although there are some cons, compared to the other frames available, I would certainly recommend this frame to anyone looking for a digital frame.
