Best Photo Gallery Component or Module?

Hi, i am trying to decide between Coppermine and Menalto's Gallery or somethign else, for extensive featureset and the ability of a visito to register and be able to upload images. Any people have ideas on which one to go with and which one integrates the nicest or easiest.
Nice site by the way, Joomla!Tips

Hi,

Well, firstly, I would suggest installing JSAS, Joomla Stand alone server, if you havent already. This way you can test all the different ones without affecting your site.

Here is a really usefull review of all the different components, I hope this helps.

Re: Best Photo Gallery Component or Module?

I was in the same boat as you. After testing several galleries out, I was disappointed in the speed of both Coppermine and Menalto's Gallery. Even I was getting inpatient with the load time for the gallery. 

Ended going with Exhibit Engine with a wrapper - awesome speed with a lot of features. An upgrade should be out shortly.

Re: Best Photo Gallery Component or Module?

We have had the same prob with a few sites and ended up going with 4images, though had to run it seperate of joomla. Another one i have found recently, which is great if you need a simple, but effective gallery, is Zen Gallery. It is still a pretty new project, but has already come along way and utilizes ajax technology. Always good to know what your options are wink You can check it out at http://zenphoto.org/zenphoto/.
Cheers
Chris

Another really good and terribly simple stand alone gallery is Minigal 2 from http://www.minigal.dk

Check it out a demo of one skinned to look like a joomla site at http://www.georgelammie.com
