How to extract metadata information using exiftool for specific model of camera???

confused.com · 10-17-2008, 06:42 AM

I have a file of images, about 100 images. I can display the information of all these images using the command metacam 0.* jpg. Using this i get all 100 files displayed, were some open and some show the information of the image, but this is an unrealistic way of finding specific images taken with a specific camera model.

However, i want to find specific images that have been taken with a Canon PowerShot camera, however i am unsure as to how to extract this metadata, i was looking at some websites and they do not even have PowerShot model as a recognizable tag in exiftool? Can anybody help me out please?

Thanks in advance.

On the command line

Code:

for fn in $(ls *.jpg); do if [ ! -z "$(exiftool -CanonImageType $fn | grep PowerShot)" ]; then echo $fn; fi; done;

exiftool outputs the ImageType. When the string contains "PowerShot", the file name is displayed.
