Create Directory by Make and Model

[s21jb]

I have a collection of image files taken throughout the years using various camera models. The files are stored in sub-directories with no organized structure. I would like to recursively scan the sub-directories and copy these files in a sorted subdirectory structure that follows 'Make/Model/CreateDate/' (i.e. Nikon/D610/20191025/).
I prefer to use Ubuntu LTS 20.04 to run Exiftool.
I would appreciate any help or hint on how to get around doing so using Exiftool.

I'm quite sure that this is a standard use case for Exiftool. however I am a linux novice and could not find a working solution in the forums, so please forgive me if this is a rehash of an old question.

Thank you in advance!

See this post.  You have to change the date string to your format, %Y%m%d.  See the -d (-dateFormat) option for more details.

Thank you for the reply. And how do I create directory name by Make and Model?

Exactly as shown, though you might want to prepend your target directory.  And add the -r (-recurse) option.

You would test with this command to make sure the output would be what you want, then change Testname to Filename to actuall do the moving.
exiftool -r '-Testname</path/to/new/location/${make;}/${model;}/${CreateDate}/%f%-c.%le' -d %Y%m%d -r /path/to/files/
