Besides ACDSee and Infranview, what's a good FREE image viewer? I've been trying out Faststone and it's got some nice features. Things I found bothersome though include shrinking images to fit the screen by default (can't change it, or I can't figure it out anyway), can't change the pane positioning, and can't open straight from a rar.
Some other image viewers I've seen but not tried are PicWalker and P3d0 Explorer (official 4chan pic viewer?). They claim zip/rar support.
Ok, discuss.

Irfanview and Faststone are the best I've found, and I've looked around quite a bit. Not a fan of ACDSee, as it's pretty bloated.

There's ViX, a japanese freeware viewer (comes with English language files). Has lots of nice features, but is still only 1.5 Mbyte. It's not being developed any more, though.

Do you use OSX? If yeah, then take a look at Xee image viewer.

xnview is another. I haven't used them much.
I like FastStone. It has excellent gallery viewing functionality and is continuously updated. It just seems to be more user friendly than the others. Not such an overloaded right-click, less confusing options on direct hand. Easy to use zoom.

Modern (and non-free BTW *cough**cough*) ACDSees are bloated; ACDSee 3.22 which you may legally use for free sponsored with non-spyware banners voluntarily downloaded is fast and unbloated, and you may further disable components and formats to make it even faster. I haven't used Irfanview much but it looked heavier to me.
