I have used fdupes for this with good success.

I had a lot of duplicate due to the fact that I stored multiple folders keeping my handy pics and movies. This resulted in a waste of space.

Benefit of fdupes about other tools IMO: It also can process movies which might be often part of camera specific content.

Disadvantage so far I found:
fdupes asks for any found duplicates for manual input. I found a trick to get around this and only keep the first file:
yes 1 | fdupes -rd /*

Mind you that fdupes is a bit slower than other tools but I found it working very nicely.
