But I'm not surprised, as gphoto2 has always found the camera just fine, regardless of what Gnome thinks. I suspect that my issue is closer to a libgphoto2/gvfs incompatibility, but I've no data on which to test that. I suppose I could just start compiling ~arch masked builds of libgphoto2 and see if any of them stick, but I would love some sort of cleaner answer.
