Hi Nick/List,
Whilst I agree, even what should be a "standard", isn't. Many still use proprietary drivers instead of generic USB Mass Storage. We are an online shop and despite wanting to help Linux users, many times, that data is just not made available to us by the manufacturer, therefore I can't even say if a camera WILL/WON'T work with Linux, though I'd like to. The only way I can test it, is, well, to test it. I do that with products as I have the time of course.
yes i should have made it clearer that what i was saying was a generalisation and each model needs to be checked.
as a dealer though you should be able to get the product/vendor id's jason?
Cheers
Jason

mostly they are usb. look at the usb database at http://www.qbik.ch
It helps to know the vendor and product id. the shop should be able to supply this, but i bet they can't. you can try plugging it into a linux box with usb enabled and perusing /proc/bus/usb/devices. then get on the net and look at the above database.
actually most new ones work fine, they appear as usb-storage, ie another hard drive. then u mount it, ususally as msdos filesystem.

Hi all
I'm in the market for an basic digital camera, nothing to flash (excuse the pun), maybe 3Mpix <$4-500)
Obviously it will need to be Linux compatable, and as I stuffed up recently when I bought my (non-linux supported) Canon i550 printer, I thought this time I would get the good oil first
Any suggestions or current bargans would be appreciated --
cheers................dave
