Is there a repository of unmodified images/videos from various camera models

Hi,

I hope this is the appropriate forum for this question.

I am working on a project for which I will need curate a large number of photos and videos from various digital cameras, and extract certain information from the metadata.  I have a good amount of test content.  Unfortunately, the content I have does not represent a very wide base of camera makers and models. 

Photo/Camera review sites often post sample images (and even some video) from the cameras they review.  (imaging-resource.com even shows the Exif data using Phil's ExifTool).  However, many times the photos on these sites have been edited, which can change the Exif tags.  And in every sample I have found, GPS data is removed (or disabled on the camera).

This makes these photos much less useful to me to understand what tags are written by the various cameras/devices.

Does anyone have an idea where I can find a repository of images and videos which I can use a source content?

I maintain a publicly available metadata repository of JPEG images from all camera models which I have tested it that helps.  The images are not original, but the metadata is.
