Does the manual say anything about PTP or how it works with windows? Most cameras are either usb-storage devices, OR support PTP, and PTP is generally well supported by libgphoto2 (and hence gphoto2, gtkam etc). Your camera is not listed as supported by libgphoto, but that doesn't mean it won't be supported soon. I would try asking the gphoto2 list http://www.gphoto.org/mailinglists/ or looking at their cvs/svn repository (assuming they allow access to it). OTOH If usb-storage was going to work, it should work pretty easily. googling about this camera doesn't reveal much in the way of linux info. There is a third option of course - that it it isn't standards compliant enough to work with linux at all, in which case a card reader is your best bet (unless it has built in memory that you can't put into a card reader, in which case you may be sool :-( -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
