Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ ~250 HD videos
+ ~200 matching photo sets
+ 720P video at a bitrate of 5000kbps VC-1 codec
+ Lots of variation in scene locations.
+ Good number of models wear very sexy latex/fetish gear
+ Mostly solo/masturbation but also a couple of lez scenes and 1(!) hardcore scene
+ Latter photo sets are upto 3500px and look great
+ No DRM
+ No regional pricing
+ No download limits
+ Download manager supported
+ Great speeds of 30mbit plus
Cons:
- Expensive at $30 per month
- Very little variation of models. Nearly all slim teen clones
- Bad members area with little to no user interface
- Holiday snaps feel
- No bonus sites or network access
- Updates come at inconsistant times.
- Not all videos come with photo sets
- ~50 of the videos are less than 10 minutes long.
- ~50 photo sets contain less than 50 photos
- Latter videos are badly encoded and don't support DXVA enabled playback
Bottom Line:
This is a classic example of a site that needs to put in just a little bit more effort if they want to satisfy us demanding porn users. Besides feeling a little amateur, they don't do anything really all that wrong content wise. Unfortunately there is always someone out there doing it better. The majority of the models are on other softcore/nude sites where both the technical quality of the video and photos are better as well as having a more professional style to the photography. The last thing I want to do when a friend or relative returns from holiday is to sit through their photos of the same tree from multiple angles. Unfortunately that is what a lot of the scenes on this site feel like. This level of amateurishness also rears its ugly head with the user interface design of the members area. I use the word design as loosely as possible as the only design that has gone on here is to decide to use some purty colors. When all, and yes I do mean all ~250 updates are on a single 3 mile long index page with no search or any other usability features you can spend a fair amount of time just waiting for that page to load. I feel sorry for anyone on a slower connection as you might as well take the dog for a walk while its loading.
In my opinion softcore sites are all about appreciation of the female form in as much detail as possible. When sites like Femjoy offer far, far more content, more varied models, better shot content at higher quality AND at a cheaper price I see no reason for a membership here unless you specifically want the more amateur feel. At half the price its worth a put for a month but for $30 I feel the money is far better spent elsewhere.

Another price issue... looks like this site has recently had a price rise; all reviews I see for it seem to show $19.95 but the only price I see on the site is $29.95. I'm quite keen to join, but would be even keener if it was $10 lower!
We all got our favorites......and the opposite.
And admitted: This site is one of my favs.
So just an update (did a review some time ago), but this comment to the benefit of the fellow PU:
First time EroBerlin now has a hc/bg scene - AND with that pretty special blonde: Dulsineya - in latex.
A pity that sexy Alice (here: Betty) does not do hc - but the material with her at EroBerlin is probably the best around. Just listen to her sexy/dirty talk in that cute accent...
Only minus here is somewhat slow updates - but, ok: this material is so special that I can live with it.
Well, yes - another recommendation - but check out the previews - it's ok...and even better than at a lot of other sites.
"NEW PHOTO VIEWER posted January 24, 2010
Our members requested a better way to view our photos and now we've delivered! When you click "VIEW PHOTO SET" on a model's video, you'll now access the new photo set viewer. You can surf to any photo set right from the viewer and also download the high resolution zip file!"
There are two photosets at Eroberlin currently that have images at 3872x2592 (both of Cayenne), available in zip format only as the message on the home page makes clear.
The rest of them go no larger than 1600 px -- when the photos are in landscape orientation. 1080 is normal for portrait.
This would be a pointless quibble on my part were it not for the fact that Eroberlin itself labels those two 3872x2592 photosets of Cayenne as "high resolution" and labels all of the other photosets available on the site as "low resolution." Mind you, this is not from the photo viewer, which doesn't label but provides download only through a simple disk icon. But from each model page, there are buttons for downloading zips, and when you click them, "low resolution" is the only option available -- except in those two Cayenne cases already mentioned.
But just to make sure, I downloaded several sets from the viewer anyway. It didn't make any difference.
Well, Eroberlin, if you don't call them "high resolution," I guess I won't either. But how do you explain the statement you made, quoted above? You're telling people that they can get something from your site that even you don't believe you have!
This is NOT just an alteration of my latest review of Ero Berlin - but more like a runner-up - and a suggestion for the site-owners/webmasters - after being a member for a month - and leaving now.....
First: you still got some damn fine videos - AND some with dirty talk.
BUT:
1) Your updates are really not worth the price: 5 (or maybe 6, the most) in a month....not ok.
2) Your site is maybe the slowest, I've come across in a long time (browsing) - downloads a little better.
And again: Too bad, because you've got some very fine potentials here, and I guess a lot of more serious pornusers will get fed up with the slow speed and the too few updates...
Look forward to improvements here, because this is in many other ways a great site
Since there is already a good review on this site. I would only comment that the site seems to be new with slightly limited content so might be worthwhile to wait for few months before joining as its not updated daily. Content seems to be professionally done. Download speed seems to be ok but the downloads do not resume. So using download managers won't help much. I would love to see them allowing downloads to resume as HD contents to some might be small but to me is a large download.
