You don't lose your place in Bing images.
Try it.
Search for something, scroll for awhile, click on it. Not good? Click
back link. Still in search spot.

Speaking anecdotally, I would say I come back to the images results
page about 90% of the time.
Some of the ways I use Google Images is when looking for a company
logo for a presentation, album artwork for my MP3 library, book art
for my Delicious Library database, etc.
In all of those cases, I often go to a search result and discover
that the image, once viewed full size, does not meet my needs, and I
need to return to the search results in the same place that I left.

Come back?
Honestly, have you ever had a need to go back to images after you've
google/binged them?
Can you imagine a use case scenario?

I would caution STRONGLY against the "bottomless scroll," however.
Bing.com
has been using it in their image search, presumably as one way to
differentiate themselves from Google.
It's been a usability disaster.
The page draws dynamically, making it difficult for a user to
develop any
spatial memory of the images they have found. As the user scrolls,
they
encounter a behavior they were not expecting from a scroll bar, and
the
ability to intuitively understand where one is in the results set is
removed
by the lack of location cues.
Once a user leaves the page, they cannot return to their selection
on the
page via use of the back button. If they scrolled through several
"pages" of
images, they will come back to find themselves looking at different
images
than when they left (after waiting several seconds for the page to
redraw).
