Customer Review: Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
Please don't waste your money on this; it's utterly useless and there are far better products out there.
The problems are simple:
1) The software to transfer pictures from your computer to the keychain is simply awful. It's extremely hard to use.
But I could have dealt wih that; I have other software to edit photos.
2) The screen size is incredibly small. Yes, it is 1 inch....if you count 1 inch long and 1/2 inch high as a "1 inch screen." I don't. The pictures it displayed were unbelievably tiny.
3) Worst of all, and what made the viewer useless, is the screen resolution. No matter what I did to the pictures, or how much of a "head shot" I made them, they still appeared very poorly. I knew it wasn't me when I realized that the keychain came with a number of pictures already loaded in order to show you what it would look like. They were awful too!! You'd think that they would have chosen their best pictures in order to highlight their product; sadly, I think they did. The screen resolution is simply awful and that's all there is to it. Facial highlights looked like a bad skin condition.
And with Amazon's lousy return policy on opened electronics, you're largely stuck with a (vaguely) cheap electronic item that's no good. Which, of course, I didn't know wasn't any good until I opened it and tried it.
You're much better off with Kodak's "Easyshare Picture Viewer." It's a little more expensive, but you actually get something which you can view pictures with! The screen is significantly larger (about twice the size!), the resolution is excellent, it has a zoom feature, it has a leather carrying case so the screen (or anything else) won't get scratched, and it's still smaller and thinner than a man's wallet. It easily fits into a pocket and would certainly fit into a pocketbook. On top of all of that, it holds at least twice as many pictures as this lousy keychain (their ads say it will hold up to about 250 pics, but I found that if I dropped the resolution low enough for that many to fit, they looked pretty poor. Still....100 photos is a lot better than 56.)
I bought one for my father and loaded it with pictures for him before giving it to him. I liked it so much, I then bought a 2nd one as a Mother's Day gift for my wife.
I see that Amazon says that the Kodak "Easyshare Picture Viewer" will "be in stock soon." I would strongly suggest that they hurry that up before their customers go elsewhere.
