Is there a way that I can get a list of image files in a directory based on a particular value of a particular tag? For instance, suppose I want a list of photos that were made with a Canon P camera. I know that I can check one image file by using the exiftool with grep like this:
exiftool photo-001.jpg |grep "Canon P"
Camera Model Name : Canon P
But I don't want to check manually each image file. Instead, I just want a list of image file names in which the Model tag has the value of Canon P. I would think I could use the -if option to check all of the image files and return a list of FileName values. I tried a few variations of this idea. Here's one of them:
exiftool -execute -if "$exif:model eq 'Canon P'" -T -FileName *jpg
This runs for a while and, although there are a few photos in the directory with the Model set to Canon P, it produced no results. Is it possible to do what I want from the command-line? If so, what am I doing wrong? How do I do this? Or do I need to do it in Perl in a more intensive way?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

I found a solution. It's funny how I can search for so long and experiment so many times, but it's not until I post a question that I find the answer. Here it is:
exiftool -if '$exif:Model =~ m|Canon P|' -T -FileName *jpg
