imshow is a general image display function; it would not make sense to
customize it to match histogram2d.
You may want to use Axes.pcolorfast instead. Example using ipython -pylab:
In [1]:import numpy as np
In [2]:x, y = np.random.randn(2, 100000)
In [3]:H, xedges, yedges = np.histogram2d(x, y, bins=50)
In [4]:fig = figure()
In [5]:ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
In [6]:ax.pcolorfast?
In [7]:ax.pcolorfast(xedges, yedges, H)
Out[7]:<matplotlib.image.AxesImage object at 0x8bf0ecc>
In [8]:draw()
