Sony W100 does not have the date stamp feature. Do any of the newer cameras similar to the W100 have this feature?

I was told most new cameras do not have the feature to show the date in the corner of the photo, both on computer and printing.

Yes, Canon 800is, Canon A80, Canon A75, Canon SD600 are examples of cameras with date stamp feature, probably there are a few more if one search around.

Further more, since the adoption of Exif format, the date a picture is taken is already included in the Exif file attached to a picture. It is a date stamp in a different way, and can be extracted and shown on the computer or printed on a picture if you want to.

Date Stamp, as a feature, is therefore not a good indicator of new or old cameras, it just happen that W100 does not have it.

I did not get a response from bukit97 on my March 22 question and I have not figured out how to extract and print the date from my computer and printer.

Hi sarokhn:
I do not know of any other forum at this time. Like you I am dissatisfied with the W100 because of the lack of date stamp. What an easy feature to have with the option to turn it off if not wanted. I do not understatnd why Sony would change this. I will let you know if I ever find a solution.

Hi Everybody, I am back.

You can print dates on the picture by connecting a pictbridge complaint camera to a 'pictbridge compliant' printer. Many of the latest cameras and printers are pictbridge compliant.

Otherwise you can download Magitime from this location

Install and run Magitime. On the window that appear, click the "+" sign on the top left hand corner and select your picture.
This will place it on the left side of the screen.
Click on this picture and an enlarge version appears on the right side with date on it.

You can click and drag the date to place it at the selected position.

Click 'run' will save the picture with date for future printing.

I have answered similar questions a number of times, dating back as far as 16 Jan 07.

Currently, are there any Sony CyberShot camera that has the Date Stamp feature built inside of the camera? Instead of using secondary program that add the date back using a computer.

If there is camera from Sony that has the Date Stamp feature, please give me the model number so that I could look it up myself.

I think it is clear that this question has NOT been answered. We are trying to find a camera that will date stamp a digital photo for viewing on a computer/digital frame without having to go into each picture individually and cut/paste a date onto the image, not provide a date for printing.

Nobody has answered that question, as far as I can tell. I have an older Sony (it has the stamp) and a new(er) one which does not. When pictures come up on the digi-frame on the computer slide show we would like to be able to see the date; it's that simple.

Thanks to the first who can provide an answer.
