Yep.  Those tend to be fairly high-end cameras, though.  Besides I 
wasn't just talking about the camera; I was talking about the laptop 
also.  If you have your machine configured to work off local time (the 
easiest configuration for multi-boot systems), then the timestamp 
doesn't change back when you change your time zone.
