The Web Photo Sharing Site Faceoff:

In this post we profile the red hot photo sharing space, where the blogosphere darling Flickr is actually trailing in the mass market. Back in June, Hitwise posted their online photo market statistics - which showed Photobucket with a huge market lead at #1 and Flickr at #6. A lot of Photobucket’s lead is due to its high
usage in MySpace pages - 56% of Photobucket’s traffic is from MySpace, according to Hitwise.

Richard MacManus at Read Write Web does a nice job of showing the differences between all the major photo sharing sites. While he proclaims Photobucket the best combo of photosharing and social web features, I continue to prefer those sites which have decided to put social sharing first - Flickr and Zooomr.
