Amateur UK is a megasite featuring an enormous archive of pics and vids of hot amateur British babes. The site's been around since 2001 and it looks like they update daily (vids come in weekly) so they've amassed quite an impressive archive of content: 1,869 photosets, 148,793 photos, and 249 video clips to be exact. The women here are all from the UK (well duh, it's right there in the title), but there's definitely a wide variety of different types of women and fetishes to be had here. Wow, with this much content to go through, we better get started!
Logging into the members area, I'm not sure I like the gaudy purple, pink, and yellow color scheme here, but getting around seems easy enough and, for such a huge archive, they seem to have things well-organized. In the center of the page are links to the latest pic and vid updates and some info about the amount of content on the site (as I mentioned, it's pretty huge). A simple menu across the top of the page gives you a few ways to surf the members area. If you want to view things chronologically, you can go to the "Update" section where you'll find things listed by order of addition to the site. A drop-down menu takes you back to past months...this goes all the way back to 2001. There's also a model index here, listing the girls alphabetically with a small headshot for each one. Clicking a pic takes you to that model's main page and all of her available content. In addition, the site divides its content into lots of different categories. There are roughly 30 of these and they cover just about every conceivable niche you can think of. Lastly, there's a search box where you can use a keyword search to help you find what you're looking for. Definitely some nice sorting options available here and with this much content, you definitely need them.
Checking out the photos at Amateur UK, there's only a slight variance in size depending on the age of the set. The photos from 2003 to the present weigh in nice and large at 680 x 1024, while pics from 2002 and earlier drop down to the 600 x 800 or 500 x 700 range. Quality-wise, the pics look good overall. As you'd expect in an archive this large, there's a degree of variability among the sets. Newer shoots look better than the older stuff, some of the sets have more of a professional vibe to them while others are more amateur-looking, etc.
Videos are accessible via any of the organizational options I mentioned earlier in the review but Amateur-UK.com also has a separate section just for its movies. For each scene, you're given the option of either viewing/downloading the entire full-length clip in one file or as multiple smaller clips (typically around 8-10). Vids come in both WMV and Real formats and each format offers the choice of a 56K, 128K, or 256K version. The vids didn't look too great. The 56k and 128K clips really didn't do it for me, so I'd stick with the 256K versions for sure. Even those are too fuzzy for my liking and bumping them up to any larger than 200% causes problems. It'd definitely be cool to see a quality upgrade on the videos here.
Content-wise, there's a nice variety here. Models come in every shape and size: blondes, brunettes, redheads, big tits, medium tits and small tits, hairy, shaved and trimmed, ethnic babes, mature women, and teens. They've got a nice range of body types too, from skinny girls to curvy and plump. Other than boy-girl hardcore, the site covers just about every fetish or niche you could think of. Just checking out the plethora of categories should give you a good idea of the wide variety of stuff you'll see here: anal toy play, bikini, dildo, heels, lesbian, outdoors, panties, pantyhose, pierced, pregnant, secretary, schoolgirl, and the list goes on. Like I said, other than boy-girl sucking and fucking, they've pretty much got you covered.
With such large pic and vid archives there's not too much of a need for bonus material, but the site does offer a large erotic story archive with adult tales in several genres such as hardcore, straight, fetish, and gay.

If you're looking for a megasite with a huge archive of content for a reasonable price, Amateur-UK.com is a good choice. And, if you like British girls, that's all the better. My main complaint here was with the video quality which I definitely think needs to be bumped up a few notches in order to compete with other megasites out there nowadays. Other than that, the photo quality is good, the archive enormous, and the content (with the exception of boy-girl material) is incredibly varied. Not bad at all, especially considering the site's reasonable $19.95/month pricetag.
