I use iPhoto for receiving and storing my photos. I load them off the camera, apply a few tags (mainly technical data, such as lens and, if a manual lens, aperture) and take advantage of the fullscreen mode to compare shots side by side and gradually whittle each session down to a smaller number of shots that I want to keep.
Occassionally I use iPhoto to adjust the photos but most of the time I will fire up The Gimp, which I have set as the default external editor.This combination works well for me.
