I second this. There is also "display" from imagemagick. qiv loads more quickly; but I think display handles some vector formats (maybe SVG?) that qiv doesn't.

display of imagemagick is good. But when you want to see something fast and scroll thru' a directory full of images, then qiv is the choice. display is slow.

Here's its package description:

A quick image viewer for X Quick Image Viewer (qiv) is a very small and pretty fast GDK/Imlib image viewer. Features include zoom, maxpect, scale down, fullscreen, brightness/contrast/gamma correction, slideshow, pan with keyboard and mouse, rotate left/right, flip, delete (move to .qiv-trash/), jump to image x, jump forward/backward x images, filename filter, and you can use qiv to set your X11-Desktop background.

qiv -fm, or press f,m when viewing an image
