Talking Types of Helicopters

Is there a website where I could find an extensive gallery of various types of helicopters? Something like LensTip.com - lens review, lenses reviews, lens specification - Lenstip.com, where you can choose a lens manufacturer from the drop-down menu and it will show you a vast array of lens, only for helicopters?

I ask because sometimes I bump onto a helicopter I like, like this orangeblack one, and I have no idea what type of a helicopter is it. Are there any pointers on how to decipher which model is it?

It would be great if I could also somehow find some other information about a certain aircraft, such as what is it known for, usual use and some other information.

This is a good one
Helicopter Photos Gallery, Pictures of military and commercial helicopters from around the world - - Helicopter Photos Network: Gallery

Then to estimate what they cost you can look at the operating cost of each and multiply it by anywhere form 1.5 to 2 to get a rough rental cost per hour with pilot and fuel.

That is the worst paint job I have seen on an EC120!

You can look through commercial machines at Aircraft for sale: private Jets for sale, helicopters, piston planes Just select "buy machine" and then either turbine helicopters or piston helicopters. The brochures will give you more details about avoinics and such.
