zenfolio

[the foto fanatic]

This is a relatively new photo-hosting site, competition for the likes of pBase and smugmug. It is not free like Flickr; you have a choice of plans and therefore costs.

In searching our forum, it seems that only one member (Yi-P) is a current user. I use smugmug, and have been very happy with it, but I have to say that on my quick look at zenfolio, I was quite impressed. It seems to be much more elegant, and much, much faster (could be because it is only new).

Here is a link to a SMH article on the zenfolio:

Here is a link to a site which compares smugmug and zenfolio:

And here is a link to the zenfolio site, where you can get a free trial:

It appears that on the higher plan, you can upload images up to 10mb and have a variety of file formats including TIFF but not, unfortunately, RAW. smugmug encourages the use of small JPEGs, but you can also use GIF. One of the things I noticed about the site is that the resolution seems better than smugmug.

I haven't done enough research to be recommending this site yet, but it is certainly worthwhile to consider it if you are contemplating having a photo site.

Thanks for the info Trevor - I, too, have been very happy with Smugmug but it doesn't hurt to compare.
