Hi Tamas,
Sounds like a great idea. I don't know if it's of use but I recently put
together a python script to create KMZ files of geotagged photos using
the Python Imaging Library to read EXIF data. It also exports a list of
photos and coordinates as a CSV file, for loading into a GIS. You could
use OGR to output a vector data source instead.
The script can be downloaded from here:

Thanks,
Dan
