I'm a proponent of sites that lay out their member's area design for guests to see. That goes double for the Voyeur niche where too many sites have crap content and misleading tours. Non-members at Hidden Zone can see exactly what categories of content the site has along with some thumbnail preview pics for each. As someone who has experienced full access here I can report the samples are representative of the member's material.
The site has 8 categories of videos and they include typical voyeur stuff like WC (i.e. bathroom), Upskirt, and The Beach. Others like Locker Room, VPL (visible panty lines), and Japan Voyeur do a good job of rounding out the site's movies. Like most voyeur sites it's really a blend of voyeuristic hidden-cams along with public nudity and exhibitionism. Some vids have the whole secret-camera fade along the edges of the picture and others are more normal looking shoots. What I like best is the category variety along with the sheer amount of videos. They definitely need a lot of them to fill out the site since most are quite short at around 1 minute long. DivX AVI is the format used but these things download and play quick 'cause of the small file size.
The photo galleries aren't just a repeat of videos in picture form. In fact none of the categories overlaps which is quite unusual for just about any paysite (the one exception would be "Nature" which has quite a bit of beach pics). A bit of hardcore are offered in Hardcore and Swingers categories along with a handful of softcore sections too. Pictures are average sized and the quality is nothing to write home about. It's decent but nothing special. The pics are definitely secondary on the site to the videos.
That's it for the site. They don't waste time with feeds or any extra crap. Updates are easy to track since every video is dated. It seems they keep up with daily additions and there's nothing wrong with that. The whole 15-day trial thing is expensive and weird and the monthly isn't overly cheap either. That'd be the most glaring problem I have with Hidden Zone, other than that it's a straightforward voyeur/public nudity site.

After re-reading my initial review and browsing around Hidden Zone again I think the points I laid out in my original review still apply. The site has continued to update on a regular basis but other than that things are just as I rammer. Definitely the large number of video clips is the best asset here; I just wish they'd offer up some other formats besides the DivX.
Score increased from 77.8 to 79.0.

Hidden Zone sticks to their guns and continues on with daily updates. It really has grown into a very sizable site especially for a voyeur and public nudity niche site. The content still has multiple sections that cover all the voyeur sub-niches plus a bit of more standard hardcore and softcore is available as well. As I mentioned in my initial review and the first follow-up the guest pages really do let guests get an idea what the content style is like so what you see is what you get.
Score increased from 79.0 to 80.0.
