After some digging I found that the PHP command exif_read_data (filename) 
will do about the same and read out the file creation date, I haven't tried 
it with an image fresh from the camera. I used to shoot pictures with the 
biggest size and highest resolution just to resize them later with PSP 
(maybe I try GIMP the next time). My guess is that PSP inserted its own 
data, which explains why images from August and November have a creation 
date from late December. Ah well, as long as it will work out going forward 
a lot of work will be saved.

Just wanted to share this solution to my problem.
