It analyzes images, not binary data (analyzing images is kinda key thing for... analyzing images :) ). Very fast and allows to easily control degree of search - it can look for images that are almost exact match or that are loosely alike or anything in between. Only minor downside that interface is more suitable for automatic deleting of duplicates (it chooses files to keep based on file type and resolution) and is not very suitable if you want to manually compare found duplicates.

It has worked very well for me! A better program is Similar Images:
