Hi Arnd
I was about to start writing a small piece, but discovered something 
unfortunate when prepping this week's holiday photos from Berlin and Potsdam: 
I used the Digikam batch process to convert the jpeg files from my Nikon D40 
to png, and found that all the exif data were lost during conversion. I also 
took a few photos with my digital VCR camera, but these images did not loose 
the exif data. Strange? When I opened a jpeg file from the D40 in the editor 
and saved it as a  png, the exif data were also *not* lost. I have Digkam 
0.9.0.

I'll experiment further and finally send you a small piece for the faq.
