Hi, I am considering getting a digital camera (for amateur, not professional, use), with the obvious requirement that it will interact flawlessly with my Linux computers (desktops and laptop).
I've searched TFW, found some general info etc, not much about specific models. Could not try anything, obviously. I would like additional input based on knowledge and personal experience. * How satisfied are you with your digital camera? Feature set, interface, Linux support, ease of setup (recompiling a current stable RH or vanilla kernel with the right modules is considered acceptable), reliability, etc. * What is your impression on Linux supporting software? What works? What works best? Gphoto2? Do any cameras come with Linux software now? Is it simple enough to mount the camera over USB (say) and copy the files? Does it even work that way (I got the impression it does). * USB or serial? ;-) * What non-obvious questions to ask? What features are essential/useful for Linux interoperability? * What to avoid? * Any HOWTOs or tips? [I found some, e.g. http://home.gagme.com/greg/linux/usbcamera.php, but the list of models "known to work" is pathetic, even though it's current] Info relevant to makes and models available in Israel and/or BG Duty-free is especially welcome.
