To dracken (213):

The site has recently added a "request" feature for the videos. You click onthe video and get a page that has you enter your email and a couple other things for authentication. Your request goes off the the site admin and sometime in the next four days you get a link to the video so that you can download it. The video you get has a watermark in the middle of the screen with your username. Presumably this is so that you can't post the video elsewhere. I understand the desire to protect intellectual protperty but the process is tedious enough and new postings infrequent enough that I will not renew.

New downloads currently average one every to two or three weeks.

To greg909 (2):

I would just like to respond to the comments made by greg909.

1200 DPI x 1200 DPI:
This was a typo on our part, what this should have read is 1200 pixels x 1200 pixels. Further a 1200 dpi image would be simply impractical. Professional printers only work at 300 dpi, if the images on the site were 1200 dpi you most likely only be able to view a square inch of any given image on a 20" screen. The file sizes would be huge.

By "1200 pixels x 1200 pixel" we mean that if the image is of landscape orientation it will be 1200 pixels wide and however many pixels in height in order to maintain the aspect ratio. Conversely for portrait images: 1200 high by many pixels in width in order to maintain the correct aspect ratio.

The reference to 1200 DPI has been removed and corrected.

This image size will almost fill an entire screen running with a screen resolution of 1280*1024. If these images are only filling half of the screen then you're running a very high spec screen with desktop publishing screen resolution which the majority of users will not have the capability to do.

"most pics are somewhat blurry (with false sharpening"
In order to capture the pee action shots we use a high speed shutter camera that can shoot 4 or 5 frames per second. However shooting at such high speeds means there is a small compromise in quality. In order to compromise for this we do sharpen some images in an attempt to improve quality. I can only strongly disagree that "most" images are blurred.

"the small number of photosets (33)"
The preview section of the site lists all and every photo and video set available. Before joining it is clear to see that there are currently 33 photosets. It is not as if we lure members with the promise of 100's of image sets when the reality is only 30.

Our strong point is the video section which currently features 155 videos in 3 different bit rates (the latest of which are 720p High Definition) which you omitted from your review.

The Photosets

Just having checked this site out, I found the photosets very disappointing, quality-wise. The preview page says "1200dpi x 1200 dpi" which is pretty meaningless. The images are actually about 1200x900 pixels, which fills about half my screen -- not exactly HD by today's standards! Furthermore, most pics are somewhat blurry (with false sharpening). Also note that of the small number of photosets (33), most are of the same model, called Rebekah.

Actually, I preferred the videos here, and I'm not usually a video man, so that may say something.

Quick Impression

Some very nice videos here and if you like how the main model (Rebeka) looks than this is a very, very good solo site. She is not really my type but the constant updates, the forums and the close contact she keeps with the community make it a good sell. A solo site done how it should be done!
