I think people thinking they can discredit digital photos have no concept of metadata. Here's an example of the data embedded in each image file:

EquipMake Canon
EquipModel Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT

It would take some wizard to alter this in a series of image files without introducing some inconsistency. Much less be able to upload the altered image back to the camera/phone.

particularly on a phone with the time being set by a NTP (Network Time Protocol) Server, getting time from an atomic clock.
