Has anyone experience with Kodak cameras and Linux? Is there something
special about how Kodak encodes their images?
Maybe I should rephrase the question to "Does anyone have any experience
downloading photos from Kodak cameras?".
Or should I just switch my mom to Windows and be done with it.
That won't help either. I just tried reading the file in Windows. No go.
Windows Picture and Fax Viewer gives only the very verbose and helpful
message "No preview available".
I haven't tried any other Windows photo apps because, well, gosh, XP
just doesn't seem to come with any.
Maybe Kodak is screwing around with the image format before putting it
on the SD disk, with the goal of keeping the user hostage to their own
software and services. But then I'm probably just being paranoid.
The next step will be to try reading from the camera directly through
its USB port.
