I am using digiKam for quite some time now and this is one of the most missing
features. I have a current, concrete use case to add:

I have scanned my complete set of negative images via a scanning service. For
the "date created" EXIF metadatum, they set the scanning date. They left blank
the "date digitized" EXIF metadatum.

So what I like to do:
(a) set the "date digitized" metadatum of 6000 images to, say, 2008-12-20.
(b) since I sorted the images into (dated) albums, for each album (say the
1977-01-12 album has 100 images in it), set the "date created" of these 100
images to, say, 1977-01-12.

User interface would be dead simple: just add an "apply to all selected" button
to the EXIF (and others) metadatum dialog. Only the fields modified by the user
(this should in many cases be only one) should be modified for all selected
images, leaving all other metadatum as they were before.

A "safety" dialog like this would be ideal after clicking the "apply to all
selected" button:

  "
  Are you sure you want to change the following for *100* images?
   * date created = 1977-01-12
   * date digitized = 2008-12-20
  "

Thanks very much,
Kay
