Digital Photo Frames

The Kodak EasyShare S5101 5.6-Inch Digital Picture Frame has a quick touch border and you can start viewing your pictures right away in it. You just need to drag and drop the pictures with desktop software. The design of the frame is sleek and modern which is well like by the masses.

This product is easy to use since the quick touch border allows you to go through your pictures easily and it even keeps the fingerprints off, resulting in your frame to remain clean. It has a unique scrolling feature that allows you to slide your finger across the touch border to scroll through the pictures. You can even create, edit and view slideshows by the touch of your fingers!

You just need to insert a USB flash drive in your frame and view your pictures right away. The frame has full features of thumbnails, copying, deleting etc. It even features an on/off option. In addition to this, it serves with two SD card slots!

The Kodak EasyShare software makes it easier to download pictures from your computer into the frame and lets you browse through them and edit your albums as well. You can resize the pictures without it affecting the resolution of the picture. This is because of the aspect ratio, which is different in most of the other 7″ frames.

The resolution of the frame is 4:3 aspect ratios and it has the Kodak Color Science to blossom with color and crispy details. Moreover, the new modern design comes in two mattes: silver and red. These let you choose the color according to your placement and style. It can be set either vertically or horizontally on the wall as well as your table. It also features a discreet cord design, which is barely visible.

However, you cannot view the pictures in a randomized manner! You only can view it in a sequence. After rotating any pictures and turning the frame off, the frame looses the orientation of the formerly rotated pictures on startup. Along with this, the product does not hold up the compact flash but has the aptitude to duplicate pictures from the USB flash to any of the supported cards.

In addition, the adapter is supposed to be a World Wide adapter as it is mentioned by the manufacturer’s narrative but instead it comes with an AC adapter that can be used only inside US.

The Lasonic JL 206 7-inch Digital Photo Frame has 480 x 234 resolutions and it supports a Compact Flash, SD, MMC, and MMS memory cards with a slide show function as well. It has a 2.0 USB interface that makes it easy to connect it to your computer.

It comes with two changeable frames in black and silver profiles. With a 12 thumbnail image and the features of zoom and rotation, you can even adjust the brightness and contrast in the frame. The frame comes with a Playback file format too! The frame comes in with a no built-in memory and your pictures are automatically resized without you having to change the resolution.

As for its functioning, the Lasonic 7-inch Digital photo frame would have been better if more clear instructions were given. The plus point of this frame is that a remote control is given to scroll through the pictures. However, there is no slot to hold the remote control, as these gadgets are easily lost. A slideshow can be easily started by simply pressing the “Auto play” button on the remote but the disadvantage of this slideshow is that it starts from the very first pictures and goes on in a sequence. Since there is no randomization option, this slideshow can get a bit boring.

The frame features a CF card because of which you just need to slide the card in your computer, add the desired pictures, and put it back in the frame. The frame supports other flash cards simultaneously. With the 2 GB space, users find it as a good frame to opt for.

Another feature in this frame is the volume feature. There is a button to adjust the volume but the manual does not mention why the volume is needed in the first place since there is no option of a video playback and neither does it support a music system. In addition, the product does not have a sleep mode and you just have the option of either turning it on or off. It only uses AC power and no batteries and this can be a bit annoying for the users!

Even though the frame is plastic, it has a very nice look to it. Except for the disadvantage of plug in cord over the usage of batteries, one will not be disappointed when they buy this frame.

The Kodak Easy Share Digital Picture Frame M1020 model is ideal to be kept in an office or a hoe as it blends in with the surroundings especially with the changeable mattes. The image and audio quality of this frame is reasonable but the software is not that dependable.
