This only suffices if it's an unedited photograph direct from a digital camera which records this. Anything else still has to be manually input.
There may of course be image editors with bugs. But take Photoshop and Irfanview as two common editors that handle the data correctly. Anyway it was just a side note. We need to improve overall usability on Commons. Search is another construction site...
Unfortunately many scanners also embed this information, but it only applies to the date of digitization. I'm wary about assuming information embedded in the photo is correct, even if we ask the user to confirm.
