Canto Cumulus - I have the most experience using this program having setup a database of about 25000 images. It will also categorize videos and pdfs. You can add your own fields for searching and it will also read image metadata. Not too expensive for the single installation and they offer classes around the US.

Extensis Portfolio - Canto's closest competitor and a similar product. I think for images this is at least as good as Cumulus if not better. I only tried the trial version after talking to the reps at the recent MacWorld SF about a potential application. Also has the abilities to add custom field. Good support.
