If you are gnomeish, then clicking anywhere on the desktop and
pressing Ctrl-R will do the trick. I don't think this will get around
you camera problem though.

I have found time-stamps to be inconsistent for photos of flash media
(no idea why).If you really want to set the dates of the files then I
would write something in perl/python that pulls out the info from the
EXIF headers and set it using 'touch -t <blah>' or its equivalent in
perl/python.
I use this bit of perl to extract "picasa comments" from JPG files for example:
---
#! /usr/bin/env perl
use Image::IPTCInfo;
$i = "filename.jpg";
# get the image caption (from Picasa)
my $caption = new Image::IPTCInfo($i)->Attribute('caption/abstract');
print STDOUT "Got Caption: $caption";
