Convert Kinect ColorImageFrame to Bitmap

You can find the answer in this article.
To summarize it, this method should do the trick:

Bitmap ImageToBitmap(ColorImageFrame img)
{
     byte[] pixeldata = new byte[img.PixelDataLength];
     img.CopyPixelDataTo(pixeldata);
     Bitmap bmap = new Bitmap(img.Width, img.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb);
     BitmapData bmapdata = bmap.LockBits(
         new Rectangle(0, 0, img.Width, img.Height),
         ImageLockMode.WriteOnly, 
         bmap.PixelFormat);
     IntPtr ptr = bmapdata.Scan0;
     Marshal.Copy(pixeldata, 0, ptr, img.PixelDataLength);
     bmap.UnlockBits(bmapdata);
     return bmap;
 }
