well, it looks like the imagefield cck field type is "filefield", while the Geocode module expects it to be "imagefield". This should be changed on line 18 of geocode/includes/modules/imagefield.inc:

/**
* Implementation of hook_geocode_handler_info() on behalf of imagefield.
*/
function imagefield_geocode_handler_info() {
  $handlers = array();
  // This functionality requires PHP's exif module
  if (function_exists('exif_read_data')) {
    $handlers['geocode_imagefield'] = array(
      'title' => t('Image field'),
      'module' => 'geocode',
      'file' => 'imagefield.inc',
      'file path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'geocode') .'/includes/modules',
      'return types' => array(
        'geo' => array('point'),
      ),
      'field types' => array('imagefield'), // <-- should be 'filefield'
    );
  }
  return $handlers;
}

I can confirm that changing this line does fix the issue and pictures uploaded into an imagefield will now get geocoded

This solution enabled the Image field option of the Geocode Handle:
but the Return value: option still shows linestring... is there anything else to do to change it?

Thanks

We've been successfully using Geocode to manage photos for awhile now, and that described fix has been in the code for . I suspect that this is working in HEAD, and I'll tag a release appropriately to get around #557096
