For one camera I got: "fail The 'NIKON CORPORATION NIKON D200' does not write serial information in the exif. See the supported cameras page for a list of models that do."

For my other camera, a Pentax K20D which is on the supported list I got:

"Problem extracting serial number. If possible, use an original image from the camera that has not been edited in any software."

The only thing I had done was uploaded the image from the camera via iPhoto. But all the EXIF data was in tact, including the Pentax K20D, the serial #, even the lens I used. So I don't think iPhoto stripped any data.

I'm wondering why if Flickr for example can extract all of the EXIF data, even for images not directly from the flash card, why did this happen?
