jhead is what I use to rename pics in the 100_0001.JPG naming scheme 
so common in cameras to YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS format

jhead -n%Y%m%d-%H%M%S *.JPG

Other packages that might help you build a similar tool are exif, 
exifprobe, exiftags, exiftran, exiv2, metacam, pyrenamer and EXIF 
language bindings for Python, Ruby and Perl.
