Kodak digital photo frames have quickly become some of the most popular digital photo frames on the market. Kodak has used its long established market position in imaging and digital SLRs to become a leader in digital photo frames. Kodak digital photo frames have many useful and unique features, but the one that likely stands out when examining them closely is the Quick Touch Border control system.

Kodak digital frames take a innovative approach towards enabling the user to operate their digital LCD frame. Whereas many other digital LCD frames use a series of buttons or a touch-screen system for control of the digital frame, Kodak has introduced a way to take the best of both approaches. The quick touch border control system has a touch screen feel to it, but keeps the operator's fingers off the digital LCD screen, which of course is the most valuable part of any digital frame.

Kodak EASYSHARE digital photo frames have many of the functions you find in a top end frame. When you turn on the frame and insert a memory device with digital images, it begins showing them in a slideshow mode. But like many good frames, Kodak digital photo frames have many configuration settings like slide duration, slide show mode (shuffle, random, etc.), plus other digital frame setting like auto on/off'. Digital frames usually have many other user driven features, like the transfer of digital images from a memory device to the frame's internal memory, other configuration settings like date, time, language, and more. All these have to be set by the operator using a menu system.

The Kodak Quick Touch Border control system is very elegant in enabling you to operate these functions. Menu functions are driven by a touch bar that surrounds the LCD frame, and basically blends into the frame's border. This activates a menu system that lights up on the LCD screen, and takes the operator through the frame menus and configuration. The touch bar is used to reach sub-menus and functions, turn functions on/off, and configures the desired settings for the frame.

The brilliance of the Quick Touch Border system is that it that it blends technology with style. Your fingers stay off the LCD screen, which after all is displaying your crisp, clear pictures. The touch border bar is blended directly into the picture's frame. Kodak frames still give the operator the high tech feel of a touch screen menu system common with so many other user digital applications today, which makes operating these highly configurable gadgets seems incredibly simple.

You'll find digital photo frames from other manufacturers with menu systems of all different types: buttons, levers, touch screen, even remote controls. All have their advantages and disadvantages, and many of them work very well. There are many great digital frames available that don't have Kodak's menu system. However the Quick Touch Border system from Kodak is definitely unique, and shows real innovation from the product development team responsible for display frames at Kodak. It's also proving to be extremely popular with consumers as well.
