A patch I submitted to the Linux kernel was merged into the mainline 2
days ago, and it adds a new option to mount for fat filesystems. Here
is the diff for the Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt file. It
probably should also be added to the "mount" man page (if this is not
the right list for this, let me know):

+tz=UTC -- Interpret timestamps as UTC rather than local time.
+ This option disables the conversion of timestamps

+ useful when mounting devices (like digital cameras)
+ that are set to UTC in order to avoid the pitfalls of
+ local time.
