Not exactly what you are looking for perhaps, but you might find this  
interesting...

You can shell mdfind & mdls via a Rev application and get lots of  
info *if* the metadata is available.

I used Rev to grab this metadata  from an image Cloe's camera took.
Ummm... she's never set the date/time in the camera
