More Kodak Australia reviews , RRP: AU$399.00

The good:

  • Wireless connectivity
  • 128MB internal storage
  • Support for PictBridge, USB and all memory cards

The bad:

  • Tinny built-in speakers
  • Stand only sits horizontally
  • Photos aren't automatically resized when transferred to internal memory
  • No Australian integration with Kodak's online photo-sharing site

The bottomline:

The Kodak EasyShare EX1011 is an attractive, full-featured digital photo frame though its built-in Wi-Fi is more a token offering than top selling point.

I bought EX1011 specifically to allow me to keep my photos on my PC and share them wirelessly with the frame. I have WMP11 on an XP Pro machine and it works well. However, when I installed the frame I have a problem. The frame can see my network and WMP11 can see the frame, but the frame cannot see my PC on the network. I have been in touch with Kodak tech assistance which, so far has not been particularly helpful. I believe there may be an issue with media sharing/Digital Management Rights but I have not yet been able to fix this. I will likely be returning the frame If I cannot enable wireless sharing.

Pros: Great concept.

Cons: Poor implementation (at least for my setup). Tech support from Kodak has not been steller.

I bought the EX1011 wireless digital frame thinking i would be able to painlessly stream the pictures (10,000+) from my PC to my digital frame, unfortunately there are key features missing to this frame to allow this scenario to really work.

1) Display pictures in random order
I have 10,000+ pictures on my PC. I want them to be shown in random order on the digital frame, Everytime the frame restart is powered ON/OFF i want to have a different seed for the random generator to be used such that everyday there is a fresh new set of pictures being displayed on the screen.

2) Resume streaming after being powered ON
As it is, each time the digital frame is turned OFF than back ON it goes back to the main screen and i have to manually select again to stream pictures from my PC. I want to be able to use the built-in timer to only display pictures on the frame during the day, in the morning when the frame starts up i want it to automatically start streaming again without ANY user intervention.

These two features are critical for a seamless streaming experience, without it this frame wireless capability is only usefull to transfer picture to the built-in memory... which is a scenario i just don't care about.

I'll be bringing back this frame to the store. Hopefully these problem will be addressed in the future and i can consider Kodak again for digital frame for myself or gift to my friends and family.

Pros: Nice picture frame if you don't care about streaming pictures to it.

Cons: Streaming feature is useless, wifi is only functional to transfer picture to built-in memory of the digital picture frame.
