 This is a WIDESCREEN device with NO internal memory. May 22, 2008
I bought one of these after looking at a few of the Amazon reviews, but somehow I missed two important facts about the Kodak EasyShare SV-710 digital picture frame:
1. This is a WIDESCREEN device (16x9 aspect ratio). I bought this frame to put all of my old pictures on it. All of my old pictures are 4x3, and my digital camera is 4x3. This means that I have to a) Manually crop ALL of my old pictures so that I get the best part of the image, b) Allow the frame to just CUT OFF the bottom of the image (which it does by default), or c) Configure the frame to put bars on the sides of the image. None of these options are acceptable to me. I don't want to lose parts of my pictures and I don't want wasted screen real estate.
2. Some of the other reviews here mention that the SV-710 has 128MB of internal memory. THIS IS NOT TRUE. The SV-710 has NO onboard memory. At all. You MUST use a memory card or USB flash drive.
Sorry Kodak, but this device is sorely lacking. I returned it for a full refund (the Amazon return policy is fantastic). I ended up spending twice as much money on a "Digital Decor" generic 4x3 digital picture frame from Target and it works like a dream by comparison.
 Great! May 22, 2008
I sent this to my 75 year old Mom for Mother's Day and she had no problem setting it up and using it. She loves it and loves having the "latest" thing to display her pictures.
 Good for the most part May 19, 2008

This is a very good product, excellent image quality and good value for the money, but...
Problem One:
Uploading photos (and ONLY photos - no video or audio).
Since the product had limited internal memory, I also bought the Dane digital card (link, below).
Several times, I attempted to move about 180 photographs from my computer to the Kodak frame and each time I got a "memory full" message.
Several times, I re-edited my photos in Photoshop to reduce the image size and repeated the upload into the Kodak frame, getting the same error message.
Solution: load only a few photos at a time.
Seems a bulk upload jams the Kodak.
Problem Two:
Effects.
WHY oh why didn't Kodak include a simple dissolve between images?
Okay, to be fare, some of the transition effects are nice, but the lack of a basic dissolve is odd.
Hello Kodak: ADD a dissolve effect!
Problem Three:
Tiny remote control.
I bought this frame for my 80-year-old mom.
Her eye sight isn't too keen and her hands aren't that dexterious.
The remote control is very small and is easy to loose.
A plus is the remote holder in the back (nice!).
A few other minor issues:
1. took too long to figure out how to operate - the pull-down menu was confusing to me (and I work with computers!).
2. frame too light - Kodak should add power transformer in frame to both add weight and make the power cable less bulky.
All in all - this is a very cool item and I feel it is well worth the price.
The look on my mom's face when she was able to see dozens of images of her family was well worth the upload hassle and time it took to figure out how to get the images to display.

Easy to set up and use and grandpa loved it. I did not install the software and utilize it because I had read reviews that reported it was not helpful, but rather put pictures on a flash drive and then transferred to the internal frame memory which was easy and worked well.
