URGENT WARNING: Product infected by worm variant W32.SillyFDC
Recommend staying away from this product, manufactured in Tianjin, China, from South Korean company Samsung, because it is infected by a worm variant known as W32.SillyFDC. Upon connecting the digital photo frame to my computer, variant W32.SillyFDC, residing in directory "ToExe" of the frame's internal memory, immediately executed itself on my machine. Then it, being a worm-based Trojan horse, attempted to infect my machine and connect to the network. Fortunately my security software detected it and immediately terminated the process, deleted the program, and upon scanning traced it to the "ToExe" directory on the Samsung SPF-71E.
NOTE: Common anti-viral software can successfully remove the malicious program from the device and interactions with SD Cards and USB memory sticks are not at risk for infection
Apparently Samsung is an untrustworthy brand name and is no different than Insignia.

Instructions or (lack of) make me want to toss this out the window. Widescreen renders half your pictures unusable unless you downsize them smaller than the screen. Hope to someday be able to set clock and use auto on/off feature, but it's not looking good so far...

My husband was deployed in the army and wanted photos of family. This gave him photos many many photos (especially with a memory card) and no need for lots of space. It was light weight and easy to mail to him, once I got the photos on the memory card (not included) for the frame. It also didn't take up much room in his barracks room.

This was purchased for a birthday gift and it made quite an impression. I would certainly purchase another one in a heart beat.

Great frame. Everything works like a charm. Why buy the higher priced brand when everything about this one works?

The photo frame is great. Good picture and sleek frame.
Only bad thing is that it's widescreen so the pictures must be cropped/zoomed to fit the frame properly which leads to heads getting cut off in some photos.

Samsung SPF-71E 7-Inch Digital Photo Frame (Black)

I bought this digital frame for my boyfriend. It is easy to use, very practical. My only complaint would be that some images cannot be seen clear enough, but for the price I paid I am satisfied!

This is a good product. It took a while to download the pics because the instructions were rather vague. But it's a nice gift.

My first impression- this is a wide screen viewer, not the 4 x 6 that I thought I was getting. When I connected with my pc, I was shocked to see my firewall spring into action to block a program in the viewer, followed by McAfee deleting a virus from the viewer! ?? After that, the transfer of photos to the viewer went smoothly. I don't know what the program on the viewer was. It was identified as a worm.
Contorls were easy to use, and displaying the 4x6 photos in wide screen format is okay.

This is the very first picture frame I own. It will accept a lot of media types and have the option to move them to the local memory for later use. However, connecting it to a PC for direct upload did not work for me. I am not sure if it is a Win Vista issue, but the memory space was not recognized and the frame stayed in "configuring" mode while connected. I opted to load the pictures to an SD card and permanently leaving that card in the frame. One thing people keep complaining about is that it is a widescreen format frame. You would have to crop your pictures to a 16:9 ratio. That was not a big deal for me except that some pictures are difficult to do so due to placement of people or objects in the original photo. The picture quality is great. It does lack a motion sensor switch. The frame will be permanently on and the power switch is at the bottom back of it. If after reading this you still want it, be my guess. I don't regret purchasing it.
