Great picture but...

For the month it actually worked, I liked it even though it has some "minor" flaws. The interface is a bit quirky, and as others suggested, the random functions (both picture order and transitions) were anything but dependable.

Its best attribute was the display. Unfortunately, that asset stopped working and it's now indefinitely stuck in torch mode (each pixel is at max brightness).

Oh well, it was nice for its short life span and I would have rated it higher if I spent $10.00 for it. But since this unit is $200.00, I'll give it the single brightly lit star that it is.

BEST Digital Picture Frame. And I own 4 Different Ones

I really like having my pictures displayed on a digital picture frame. It is a convenient, space saving way to review thousands of pictures. Great entertainment in a small space. I brought one in to my elderly aunt to watch in her nursing home. She really enjoys watching the family photos, with hundreds of pictures cycling throughout the day. Sure beats TV! This is a great application for these picture frames.

But anyways, I now own 4 different model/different manufacturer Digital picture frames. This Kodak 10" model is my most recent purchase and the best picture frame that I own to date.

What is wrong with the other picture frames? Some picture frames, the real cheap ones, seem to suffer from low CPU power. It can cause a long 'blank screen delay between flipping to the next picture. This Kodak is quick, it will flip to the next picture as fast as you want.

The picture is large, brilliant, colorful and relatively high res. The specs say 800 x 480 but it really looks much  more

Looks great but has a flaw

The quality of the pictures was terrific. This frame is also very easy to use. I do agree with another reviewer that the user guide leaves much to be desired. I ended up returning my frame because of one issue that is a big deal to me. I absolutely have to have a frame that can show pictures in a random order. This frame claims that when shuffle is on that is what it is suppose to do but it does not work. I tried more then just my frame(even called and emailed kodak) and the pictures are shown the exact same way every time. I have too many pictures to have to sit through all the same ones every time to get to different ones. I believe they could fix this frame with a firmware update and I will keep an eye out because I would like to get this frame if they it.

Great improvement over prior model

Great looking pictures, very smooth and from any reasonable distance (i.e., at least couple feet away) looks like a real photo. tricked a few folks in my office (about 1/2), who all thought it was a real photo on display. Light years ahead of the quality of the prior kodak 10inch model (which had comparably worse ability to display blacks and contrast from darks to lights). highly recommend. intuitive interface.

Kodak EasyShare M1020 is an amazing piece of equipment!

Straight out of the box, this frame gave remarkable results. Inserted an SD card, turned it on, and presto, my photos never looked better. The touch frame is extremely easy to use, and very intuitive! Never looked at the manual, which turns out to be a good thing, since it leaves a lot to be desired. Checked it to see what "Shuffle" on or off did (never did find out) and how to get random picture display, which it apparently doesn't do - thus 4 stars. But for bright, sharp pictures with a wide viewing angle, it beats any thing else I've looked at. Going to purchase an EasyShare M820 for the kitchen, and two more EasyShare M1020's for my daughter and sister-in law!
Added note: From Kodak web site - "Shuffle" plays pictures in random order!!! Changing rating to 5 stars
