I've been using exiv2 (port graphics/exiv2) which fits my needs.
Here's an example of its output:

See "man exiv2" for details. It's a really versatile program
which can be excellently integrated into scripts.

In case you need more info from a photo file, use the "strings"
utility provided by the system and parse its output.
