FWIW, that's NOT true on OS X. At least when downloading images using
Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture, the creation date allocated to the
file is the time that the file was saved to the memory card.
The time it was downloaded does not appear in the file info in any
way. The creation date sometimes gets altered as you describe when
uploaded and downloading, but copying and/or saving doesn't alter it.
I occured to me immediately after I sent the post that what I said about
"arriving on the computer"
reflects my habit to "copy" the photo files from the memory card to the
computer.
I usually use memory cards of 1 and 2 GB and firstly *copy* the photos
for safety reasons - it could happen that during the transfer something
goes awry - and because I like to keep the photos on the cards for a
certain time to copy them elsewhere or have them ready for display on a
TV or for simply looking through them on the camera.
