I have to disagree here.  The gphoto web page says that gphoto2 doesn't
really support usb cameras - they are supported by the usb mass storage
driver.  Even if gphoto2 did support usb cameras I still don't think it
would make sense to add support for mine.  All the windows driver does is
make the camera look like a networked drive.  I see no reason why the
Linux driver sould do any different.

Having said that, I think you may have given me a lead.  Since all the
other cameras appear to use the usb mass storage driver I think I'll start
there.  Hopefuly my camera is just a usb mass storage device that doesn't
quite conform to the standard protocol (which would explain why the mass
storage driver doesn't work for it at the moment).

Thanks Greg.
Best wishes,
