Much of the important information about an image is stored in the vendor specific tags. In the case of my oly pen-ep3, exif -l lists 143 known exif tags, of which only 49 are used by my camera. However, exiv2 shows over 300 pieces of relevant information which actually appear, and well over 100 I can identify as relevant to the particular image (the others may or may not be relevant, I just can't interpret them; some are unlabelled).
