 Does not work like it says October 6, 2008
I purchased this product two days ago and I am taking it back. I purchased this paticular frame because it goes with my Easyshare camera, and I like the word EASY when it comes to some of this Hi Tech stuff. I have to say it was easy to get my photos on, no problem, but The Video feature didn't work. The videos played very slow and the audio was slow and muted, when I played it for the first time it frightened my daughter, she thougth there was a monster in the frame. I called Kodak, they said to send it back. I don't want to purchase another one and have the same problem again.
 Excellent product! October 6, 2008
I bought this to replace another brand that failed miserably. The Kodak unit is easy to use and has a brilliant display.
Good frame with some issues and my solutions October 4, 2008

This frame is one of the better ones that can show pics and video at the same time. The frame controls took a little getting used to but, found it better than the tiny remote on other frames. I did a firmware update (the frame's operating software)which i think improved the icons making it easier to understand for the non-techie types. One disappointment was there was no mini-usb cable included in the package, when most other companies include it in theirs; it's just the frame, power adapter, and software. A slight peeve with most digital frames; is the new frames are coming out in the widescreen format (16:9 ratio/ 800 by 480 resolution like this frame) and not fullscreen format (4:3 ratio/ 800 by 600 resolution) which most pics are in anyway. So, with this frame your getting an 8 inch screen but, it displays like a 7 inch screen pic and i apologize for my ranting and raving.
Sidenote : From the Kodak website, their coming out with OLED frames; kinda like LCD but, with more vibrant colours like plasma. Samsung frames are another consideration but, stiffer price tag.
Issues and My Solutions:
1)After trying different brands; like all digital frames this issue of not recognizing formats it supposed to be able to play has come-up regularly. My original pics and videos worked fine but, when i altered them using Adobe and keeping the same format, the frame didn't seem to recognized them anymore. This is a little tricky with pics you can't alter the size or resolution but, you can rotate or enhance. In video on this frame; altered it with Adobe but, using free software(from tucows website)to make sure it's at 640 by 480 resolution with minor degradation in the video so, solved both problems.
2)I was trying to put wedding pics in chronological and songs in play order but, it didn't matter how i renamed them using #s or A-Z even when i set the frame to play A-Z. It wouldn't play in that order but, when i renamed them on the computer then downloaded it into a SD card, it worked. yep-pee
Nice features - The price needs to come down September 1, 2008
I loved the quality of the frame and the picture quality is stunning. The SD cards it uses are also quite cheap now and makes it easy to keep tons of pics on the frame.
The lack of five stars is purely because I believe these things will be getting a lot cheaper in the near future.
A nice product from Kodak August 25, 2008

As usual, after searching for products and checking all possible reviews, finally decided to buy this Kodak M820 attributed to the balance of price and performance.
After opening the box, peel off screen protector, plug in and power it on. While enjoying its introduction show, I download >400 pictures from my picture folder (that I took now and then by Sony W7, Nikon L4, Panasonic LZ7, and Kodak very early digital camera) into a SD card (with some MP3 music files too). It seems that all pictures and motion file taken by those camera are all been play very well with good picture resolution and clear sound. The picture is very bright and the sound is loud enough to be heard in all corner of a 20 x 20 living room.
So far, this frame has done what it supposed to do: showing pictures with some blending of music as bonus. The 800 x 480 resolution is so far the best on the available market with hope-to-be-cheaper price. 8" screen size is visible within reasonable distance, however, buy larger one if you can afford and hang it on the wall...
I do enjoy this digital picture frame, and so will you.....
