PS, as I'm sure you are all aware, strips the EXIF information from your images when doing a "Save for Web". However, the EXIF information can be copied to your compressed image from the original using the excellent BreezeBrowser from
http://www.breezesys.com The compressed image must be in a seperate folder from the original and have the same file name for it to work. I find the "Save for Web" facility offers better compression than "Save As", I guess it's doing the job it was intended for. Perhaps PS 8 will have the option to retain EXIF info.

P.S. The Dowloader is worth having a look at which is also available from Breezssys.com particuarly if using a card reader.
