I use the same date format for all three of my Nikon DSLR bodies; I use MM/DD/YY. However, I assign each of my Nikon bodies with its own unique image prefix, that way computers do not get confused with identical image file names because a Nikon DSLR folder can store up to 9999 images before the sequence resets itself automatically. When I check an archived image I know exactly which Nikon it came from. When one of my DSLRs approaches the XXX_9999 number, I change the prefix for that body. I have yet to shoot any of my DSLRs past 20,000 shutter actuations. Interestingly, a video file in a Nikon DSLR body uses only one image file number regardless of how long that video may be. Otherwise....YIKES!!! A simple one minute video at 24 frames per second, that computes to 1440 images per minute; at that rate a video would max out the typical file folder (9999 images) in a Nikon DSLR in short order. Somehow the camera knows/understands this. Glad of that.

The script I wrote moves the images from my SD card and places them in a directory with today's date in yyyy/mm/dd. Pictures taken the next day are placed accordingly. I like it that way.

Laramie.....from other in this tread, it appears you're using a form of ISO-8601, which permits YYYYMMDD. Congrats

A quote from another post in this thread says
"It's also pretty similar to ISO-8601, which permits YYYYMMDD". We on the right track
