The "date of image capture" should be in the image file. The date shown for a 
file in the file system is the date that particular file was created (or 
modified). A copy is a new file, so will have the date of the copy. Nothing 
Digikam can do about that, it's a function of the operating system.

As I use only one camera, and store files in directory by date, sorting by 
file name works perfectly for me. I don't know if digikam allows sorting by 
capture date.
