exiftool -progress -d <destination-folder>/%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-<suffix>.%%le "-filename<CreateDate" <input-folder>

    -progress
        verbose and shows an [x/y] progress
    -d <destination-folder>/%Y-%m-%d-%H%M%S-<suffix>.%%le
        renames to YYYY-mm-dd-HHMMSS-sfx.ext format

    "-filename<CreateDate"
        uses the image creation date (from EXIF metadata) for the above naming scheme
