Here is my story: I also have a Canon camera and tried to use it with gphoto2. An older one worked with some limitations, a newer one didn't work at all. AFAIK the trouble with gphoto2 is that most manufacturers don't release any documentation whatsoever to the OSS developers. Therefore the stupid proprietary protocols are reverse-engineered by gphoto folks. Which means that if you aren't a developer and non of the gphoto developers own the same model of the camera that you do, you are out of luck. I didn't try to reverse-engineer mine because I felt it was a waste of time. Instead I spent $15 on a simple USB CF card reader and I'm extremely happy with it. I didn't have to do anything to set it up, hotplug found it. $cdrecord -scanbus identified the device and it was a simple matter of mounting /dev/sdX to my mount point. If system has no other devices sdX becomes sda1. -- - Andrey ~ In theory, practice and theory are the same, but in practice they are different (Larry McVoy) ~ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
