Customer Review: Kodak M829 Digital Picture Frame
This digital picture frame is very easy to use even without the manual. Everything you need is on the touch screen. Very easy to use from your digital camera, flash drive or the computer. Also the videos that I tried from my digital camera played very well and where clear. I haven't as yet tried any music. The clock feature that turns the picture frame on and off is a very convient idea but be sure you use the 24 hour cycle, I didn't understand this at first and couldn't get mine timer working right. I did have a little trouble coping picture files to my SD card but I think, I need to put them on my computer first and see if that is what is need to get them on my SD card, not sure about this right now, but I will try it and see if that works. Overall I'm very please with the Kodak digital picture frame and would recommend it to anyone as a gift for the Holidays.
Customer Review: Does not work like it says
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.


A camcorder is a portable device for recording audio and video using a built-in recorder unit. These were actually designed for television broadcasting. The modern age camcorders come with latest advanced technology with advanced features. Camcorders contain 3 major components: imager, lens, and recorder. The final component lens gathers and focuses light on the imager. The imager section is the eye of the camcorder Imager section converts light into an electronic video signal through an elaborate electronic process. The recorder section is responsible for writing the video-signal on to a recording medium.

There are several types of storage devices are used in Camcorders such as VHS, Video8, Betamax, Digital8, miniDV, DVD, Hard drive and solid-state (flash) semiconductor memory etc. Among these VHS, Video8, Betamax are the analog storage media and rests are digital. The highest-quality digital formats have the advantage over analog of suffering little generation loss in recording, dubbing, and editing.

Most other digital consumer camcorders record in HDV or DV format on tape and transfer content over FireWire to a computer, where the huge properties files can be edited, converted, and also recorded back to tape. There are also compact recording devices out there in the market which supports the HDD format and memory stick duo card slot. A mini DV cassette is also used as storage media in some brands..

They have built-in special effects like auto fade, mirror, mosaics, art, slim stretch and tracer. By using these special effects the images can be effectively faded as black, overlap and window wipe.
