Hello,
         I have a Canon EOS R8 camera that was released by Canon earlier this 
year. I noticed that it is not listed under the supported cameras list for 
gphoto2. I would appreciate if gphoto2 could support this camera in the near 
future.

      My Raspberry Pi running Raspbian OS detects the camera connected via the 
USB as a generic PTP camera. However, when I issue gphoto2 --capture-image the 
camera shutter clicks, I get a confirmation message that an image was captured 
on the camera (alongwith a corresponding filename). However, I do not find 
anything on the camera's SD card. I searched for similar issues on the internet 
and found that I need to set config value "capturetarget=card" which I did but 
even this did not help. I do not see any file stored on the SD card. I am not a 
developer and hence not 100% sure but I feel this is because gphoto2 does not 
understand how to work with the R8 completely yet. Perhaps some aspects work 
and others need to be "onboarded"?

             If there is anything I could do to help with onboarding this 
camera model to gphoto2, then I would be glad to chip in.

Thank you!
Shailesh.
