I haven't seen Exif Image Viewer mentioned, so for those of you that would like to try what I use for my D30 (I assume it will work for the G1 as well, I think I tried Thumber back then, and I have not used ACDSee):

It is a spreadsheet format with configurable columns (custom, or pick Canon or Nikon defaults in Options), every exif paramenter for each image on one line, each in its own column, even with a tiny thumbnail. You can sort info by column headings ... date, image name, etc.(like in MS Excel) ... say you want to know how many shots you used f/8 or 1/2000, AWB vs Sunny, or how many shots with different lenses or focal lengths of the G1, click on that column heading and the line items are resorted by that exif item. I keep all original images and mods in the original Canon folder numbering scheme, so some folders have a few hundred images, but I could see very large folders getting a bit much to handle in one view.
You can switch back and forth from the spreadsheet to a very fast loading thumbnail page, if you still have the raw thumbnail files, they display as well. In this view, some of exif info is displayed in a pop up box when you run the mouse cursor over individual thumbs. Click a thumbnail and get full size display (sorry, raw just displays the small thumbnail, no decoding), with all the remaining thumbnails in a band with slider bar across the top (still with the pop up exif info), so you can just keep picking through thumbs and getting their full view.
Also has a notation feature so you can add captions or description info to an image that displays in its own column ... so you can sort images by catagories or whatever.
Check it out, worth a look for those trying anything to keep up with image-overload.
And it's free. Send Michal a note if you like it, I'm sure he would appreciate it.
