I use a program called PIE (Picture Information Extractor) from www.picmeta.com. It allows you to rename your files adding all types of data from your files EXIF data.
I rename files from my two bodies appending the date & time to the front of the filename while keeping the files original cryptic number on the back end. My files wind up looking like 05.26.04_11.54.03_E82Cxxxx.jpg. I keep the original filename on the end for those occasions when my 1D & 1D.2 gets a burst that's captured in the same second. Of course you need to synchronize the clocks in both bodies. With it you can add date (any combination of month, day, or year), time (any combination of hour, minute, or seconds), shutter speed, aperture, flash, zoom & quality.

How do people solve the problem of identical file numbers when using two or more digital bodies? I recently bought a second 10D and found that both bodies often produce images with the same file numbers, meaning that if careless when downloading the images I could accidentally over-write some files. The only solution I've come up with is to download the two different camera files to two separate folders. But this is inconvenient, leaving me with two folders of raw files instead of one. And every time I buy another digital body the problem will get worse. Any way I can alter the file numbers from one body so they're completely different from the other? Any other solution? Have I missed something obvious?
