However, I'm more comfortable with Beamer because I don't have to rely on my unreliable hand-eye coordination to place and align figures, and you know which figures on the hard drive are included in the presentation because of the explicit \includegraphics command (as opposed to importing figures from the menu bar in Powerpoint/Presentation). With Beamer, you additionally have to convert jpegs to pngs for pdflatex) and bring in an external tool (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) for annotation.
I see advantages for using Powerpoint/Impress for slides heavy in images/figures: you can often copy figures in OSX Preview and paste into Powerpoint/Impress without having to explicitly screen capture, and download figures as Powerpoint slides from online journals. Some amount of equations but probably less (by slide count) than the images.
I am preparing a seminar course and will be showing a lot of figures: photos, screen captures of journal figures, etc.
