Experts,
Today, the way I try to get the create date of a photo or a video is by looking for the following tags in order:
DateTimeOriginal
CreateDate
ModifyDate
FileModifyDate
If I can't find any of the tags, I just get the file's modification time. Are there any tags I am missing? Is this overkill?
What is the best way to get the creation date of a photo or a video?

It sounds like your image may not contain EXIF, but here is the best way to get all of the date/time stamps from a file:
exiftool -a -time:all -G FILE
where FILE is the name of your file.
