Do you think that pictures in written reviews help potential buyers? I love putting pictures in my review so people can get a better feeling for the product they buy.
Do pictures in reviews help buyers?
They are usually quite helpful if they try to show a particular characteristic or aspect of the item that the reviewer thinks is noteworthy. The photos provided by manufacturers and stores usually don't show any details. I'm a very visual person and a good picture is worth a thousand words.

It depends on the photo. If I can see the product, or the point the reviewer is trying to illustrate (for example, focus doesn't need to be absolutely perfect to show how close something is in size to a bottle of Coke), then the photos are helpful.
If I have to bend my neck 90°, cross my eyes like I'm looking at a stereogram, whip out a magnifying glass, or if the photo is grossly out of focus or too dark, then it's not helpful.

I also find them helpful. Size comparisons and how the product will actually look from different directions are what I look for. For instance in becks review of Icicles #32 link I never would have known it was curved from the original product pic but she took the time and effort to show us the curve, which is so very helpful.

Yes photos are very helpful. In the case of lingerie it is because the stock photo can be photoshopped and sometimes be a different color. Plus then you get to see what the inner lining looks like. Photos for lubes and bath products are good for showing the reader the thickness and viscosity. Also I agree with everyone else, size comparisons are nice.
