It's better than Google Image because it gives intuitive alternate
images to follow.

I prefer google images. Clicking on 'search tools' allows you to
specify things like 512x512, types, color, date etc. I think it
filters better.

Never knew bing had an image search to tell you the truth!

It's he

It gives clickable image trails to related images. (Very useful).
Also, it has size, color, etc.

Speaking of Bing in general (not just images), I used to think I didn't
like it.
When I tried a blind comparison test though (Bing versus Google, but you
don't know which is which) I was surprised. Looks like I voted for Bing
result pages 4 times out of 5.

Best Buy uses Bing to locate their stores. I did a search & the
address for the Best Buy in a nearby town was found BUT I did a check
using their aerial photo of the place; it was a vacant lot.

Used Google Maps to find the address & then checked the aerial photo
which showed a nice shopping area. Best Buy can be seen using street
level photos; Home Depot & BedandBath was there; the parking lots
were quite filled.

Aerial photos for routes are nice as it shows whether a road is divided
or has a painted median; also can see if there are left turn lanes when
left turns are needed. Also nice to see if one can even do a left turn
onto a place since non-photos don't show blocked entrances by
a concrete median.

Bing's maps are quite out of date and doesn't look to be updated
frequently.
