Version: VisiPics 1.3
"Make sense out of huge image collections!"
Pros: This one may have a few rough edges, but it blows away any other free image duplicate finder software I've seen, and it gives commercial software a run for its money.
You don't just get a list of matching files -- you get useful tools to compare images flagged for duplication, and then you can ignore any that you know you want to keep. It's got great features and I use it regularly. :)
Cons: There is no warning that earlier version databases are now useless (it won't even load or convert 1.2x format databases), so plan on taking awhile to go through and reselect ALL your ignore settings for similar images in your collection(s). (sigh)
Still, I'm glad that Mr. FOUET continues to work on the software. When I can afford to I intend to send a donation to help out and show my appreciation.

"Nice, Nice,Nice...... But...."
Pros: it finds all pictures you might have, shows them grouped together after which you can select to delete them or move them to other places... It runs from parent directories so no need to copy them over first.
Cons: I REALLY miss a maquee function so you can select rows of pictures to delete (or holding CTRL or shift to make multiple selections). I updated/cleaned out my whole digital photo library and deleted more then 10.000 doubles. Each and everyone needed to be select individually, which was really a pain in the lowerparts. I really don't understand why this isn't a possability since it's a very basic tool what has been implemented in the Windows operating system so I rather think it has been left out for some strange reason......
