 HDTV Dock is not compatible with Kodak Z1015is November 15, 2008

We purchased this dock as an accessory for our Z1015is camera. Still pictures play back beautifully but videos have "green noise". On further research, I find that Kodak no longer lists our camera as compatible with this dock (although it was initially listed as compatible).
Unfortunately, we purchased this thru an Amazon Marketplace vendor. We were told we could return the dock and they would evaluate for a "possible refund" but we would not be reinbursed for the initial shipping charges or for the returned shipping. I have been very pleased with all of my previous Amazon purchases and believe me there have been a lot of them! I will never buy from this vendor again A_______E(fill in the blanks) and will stick with Amazon directly. We decided to keep the dock because the still pictures do look beautiful on our HDTV and it would have cost us a total of around $20.00 to return it for a "possible refund"
 No support for 4gb sdhc cards October 12, 2008

Item is totaly worthless if you plan on using anything larger than a 2gb card. After updating the firmware, I was able to read a 4gb card 1 time before it would not work again. Will not recognize my camera if I have a 4gb card in it. Garbage!
Great accessory for our 42 inch plasma. September 5, 2008

I am so glad I bought this. It makes viewing photos on our big screen easy. Simply snap the camera on and view. The photos on the television are beautiful. The on-screen user interface is not that great but once you figure it out, it is not hard to manage photos. Keep in mind this little black box is not a sophisticated computer so don't expect much from it other than stunning photos in high definition on your big screen. I was skeptical when buying it because of some other reviews I read but I like it and I plan to keep it.
Nice try, but not well executed April 23, 2008

This is a classic example of a product that should have been turned over to Apple to make it integrate well.
The manual is poor. For example, there is no explanation of how to actually navigate to the pictures on your camera. With an SD card in the camera, the HDTV dock initially displays Zero Pictures and Zero Videos. We thought the dock or the camera must be defective, because the Kodak printer dock can access the photos immediately. A call to tech support revealed that you have to go down about 3 or 4 folder levels to get to the actual pictures.
Picture display on my 720P LCD was generally good. Videos had an annoying green line at one edge.
The remote operates the device so slowly that the wait for a new picture to show on the screen is agonizing. Slide show mode was ok.
The buttons on the remote are confusing. Sometimes we had to shut off the HDTV dock just to make it go back to the main menu.
The remote also caused our Olevia LCD to turn off, so I had to put black electrical tape over the Olevia "remote pickup" plastic to keep the Kodak remote from turning it off.
The remote had to be carefully aimed at the dock or it wouldn't work at all.
The dock, like all Kodak docks, needs the "insert adapter" that comes with the camera. But it you have two docks, such as a printer dock and the HDTV dock, you're out of luck, because Kodak supplies only one insert, with the camera. Four calls to Kodak didn't fix the problem, until finally the parts department proposed to charge me for an extra dock insert. And this despite the fact that presales at Kodak said they'd simply send an additional insert for free when I supplied the serial number of the camera. Hint to the wise: just claim the insert is missing, and after two calls, one to parts to get the part number, and one to sales, you'll have your insert. So much for the "one call, and we fix your issue" customer service ethic.
The HDTV dock is compatible with some Kodak printer docks, so you can print what you see on the TV screen. But in the standard Kodak design way of not thinking everything out, the printers have only one USB port, so you have to do a cable swap if your dock is already connected to a PC.
The HDTV dock is a brand new product, but is missing, you guessed it, an HDMI port. Oops.
Ultimately we decided the hassle of the HDTV dock wasn't worth the result.
Come on, Kodak, you can do much better than this! If "Easy" is the marketing tag, this product doesn't fit.
