Something about this sounds odd.
The metadata is right in the JPG files. At least it is on my Nikon
880. There's nothing else on the file system (which is a plain old
FAT filesystem).
Yup. FWIW, you can even dump the data out under Linux w/ a command
called 'exif' (Source here, if your distro is package challenged:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libexif )
FWIW, Below is a dump of the data my Canon A80 saves (and I suspect most
modern digital camera's do similarly) To keep it from being further off
topic, the picture (not that its attached) was of a SGI Crimson CPU
board.
And I agree, its easier to just rip the memory card out, stick it in a
USB reader, and mount it up than to try and get the camera to "talk"
directly.
