FastStone and Irfanview report it as 300dpi but Gimp reports it as 72dpi

The dpi reported takes no account of the dpi in the file information but is the default new image dpi - changing this changes the reported dpi regardless of the EXIF data

One thing which I have found is that the EXIF data being picked up by Photoshop and the camera sets the dpi in the EXIF at 180dpi - and it isn't changeable in the camera.
It would appear that Gimp and Photoshop do it differently.
Photoshop uses the EXIF data from the camera whereas Gimp using the default dpi you have set in the program
It also appears that the camera set EXIF data isn't easily modified by some of the programs even though I thought I changed it.

Quote Viewing and editing Exif data
In the original release of Windows XP, a subset of the Exif information may be viewed by right clicking on an image file and clicking properties; from the properties dialog click the Summary tab and then the Advanced button. However, this can damage certain Exif headers if changes are applied.[10] This was corrected in a XP service pack.
In Windows Mobile(Pocket PC), freeware XnView Pocket can display the Exif data.
On Mac OS X 10.4 and above, this information may be viewed in the Finder by doing Get Info on a file and expanding the More Info section.
On Unix systems using the GNOME desktop environment, a subset of Exif data can be seen by right clicking the file in the Nautilus file manager and selecting properties. In KDE, it can be seen by right clicking, selecting "Properties" and then "Meta info". Most Unix image viewers give the full set of Exif data.
There are many software tools available which allow both viewing and editing of Exif data. The Opanda IExif Viewer is a free stand-alone application for viewing Exif data and also a plug-in for Internet Explorer and Firefox on Windows platforms. It allows examination of detailed Exif data online by right clicking on an image.[11] FxIF and Exif Viewer are multi-platform extensions for Firefox that display Exif data in the image properties dialog. This feature is native in the web browser Opera, under image properties.
Retrieval of detailed Exif data not usually displayed by other programs can be accomplished using ExifTool which runs in Perl, and is available for all platforms.
For AmigaOS/MorphOS SView5 as well as .NET covers a lot of the previously mentioned functionality.
To deal with the privacy problems that Exif may pose to those who share their photographs with others, specialized metadata removal tools which can remove Exif exist.[12]
