The way that backwards incompatibilities are overcome is via regression testing. But Canon aren't regression testing their cameras against Linux and nor are they providing funding for anybody else to do it. Nor do they provide open specs. For that matter, neither are Sony, AFAIK. So whether the problem is in the camera or in the old or new Linux drivers or in the laptop, it won't be detected on this hardware combination. The point of writing to the manufacturer is to make them aware that you are a customer and if they want you to make future purchases, they need to fund the necessary testing. Meanwhile, if you can provide sufficient diagnostics of what the low-level problem is, somebody may recognize it and be able to help. In your original request, you very sensibly asked: > How would I go about trying to debug this? I'm afraid I don't know but perhaps searching the archive and/or googling would throw up some advice on USB diagnostic techniques that will give you enough information that will prompt some help when posted. You may have more luck on a camera-specific list like gphoto. It may just be a configuration issue. Have you compared config files and logs from your working versions with those from the non-working one?
