Best photo sharing sites?
Discussion
I use www.flickr.com
I like the way you can decide who gets access to what, recently put up our wedding photos and invited people through the web interface so they have a look at the photos, you can set different options per groups of people, who can download, save, etc the pics hosted.
Collection and sets are easy to create and change, general hosting with a month limit is free, for unlimited it was $25 per year, which I thought was a good deal, there is a flickr uploader tool which can be used to upload huge numbers of photos quickly.
Also when you upload large photos 7mb images you get options on how you want to store them and it keeps 3 sizes of each image which is quite usefull.
There are quite a few out there, for me this is the best I have used so far, and others may give a similar services.
ETA: had to change the link the url tags did not work.

I use Pbase. Very easy to use.
Don't you have to be careful with Flickr and copyright? Especially as Virgin Media used a photo from there?

Note that in the commentary they say that items posted on Flick are free for commercial use.
