Is this a relatively new camera ?

About a year old. I know people have got it working under Linux via firewire; it's USB that's tricky.

Sir Robin

I'm purly guessing here , but I suspect your camera , like mine, is not vfat, and the
trouble is that the file system is not supported in the kernel. The file system has to
be the same as the camera generates, and I'm told Redhat has a kernel that does
support this newer type of file system. If this is correct, and I'm not certain of it,
we are waiting on newer kernel versions that support our cameras.


Just as a reference, my camera is Digital Dream1300

I suspect you're right. I've tried every non-absurd filesystem option, and got a filesystem type error every time (except for "-t supermount", which got me a segfault). This is presumbaly why under Win98 you need to install Sony's own USB drivers, not the native ones.
