Thanks Chris, I was hoping you'd chime in on this one.

The bottom line is that none of it is fully credible. I was able to fake a date stamp by removing it in PS, and then using MS Word, of all things, to mimic the text of the Kodak cameras we were using. The photos were used side by side of other photos with the Kodak date stamp straight out the camera. Nobody caught it! So you brought up a good point that even the camera has no legally defendable way of provided the correct date and time.

Photo editors are ubiquitous, but I know a lot of photography enthusiasts that knowing nothing of the existence of Exif data, much less how to manipulate it. So no matter what is done, none of it credible.
THANKS
