Well, strictly speaking you are correct.  IMHO "getting files from a 
digicam" is nothing but a simple file copy.  But to do that in a nice 
way and not store all pictures in the same location access to EXIF 
information is crucial.  With that you can place pictures based on 
creation time, modification time, tags and any other number of criteria 
derived from EXIF info ("put all pictures with manual white balance 
taken after 8:00pm into folder EveningShots").
