Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
Over Christmas I had a major breakthru with my Coolpix 990. It is also a USB device that does NOT provide a 'disk' interface (you cannot mount it). It is based on the Sierra chipset, as are a number of other cameras. It is supported by the gphoto2 library, but not by any user-level apps. Then I came across digikam (http://digikam.sourceforge.net). It actually works! It requires KDE 3. (An older version supports KDE2, but I have not tried it). Of course, if you have KDE3, did you try konqueror with the URL camera:/ If your camera is connected, you will get a menu in the KDE Control Center that you can configure. Then, the camera:/ URL should work. It also uses the gphoto2 library. However, it seems much slower at getting thumbnails than digikam. The only problem I have had is that the USB devices are created without read/write access for non-root users. That is more a general USB thing I need to sort out than anything specific to cameras. Until I sort it out, I need to change the permissions in the /proc/bus/usb/devices directory. (All this worked because I installed Gentoo at home. I had previously been using Caldera 3.1.1, but it was a pain to update on a regular basis - especially KDE.)

I do it all the time with a Fuji FinePix as well as a Nikon CoolPix 2500 (Just like you have...). Once the camera is mounted (Should mount as /mnt/camera for security), you can use a GUI file manager to browse/move/delete images. As a matter of fact, you can do anything in the camera's memory (Which is what is mounted as a file system) that you can do in a normal file system.

That's for sure. This project went in a straight line, from start to finish. Almost everything worked out of the box. The only hooker was the bad print cartridge. The hardest part, which I haven't done yet, is figuring out how to use the camera's many options.

Hi Joel! You can mount the camera using the USB file system that is now standard fair in all Linux distro's. I do it all the time with a Fuji FinePix as well as a Nikon CoolPix 2500 (Just like you have...). Once the camera is mounted (Should mount as /mnt/camera for security), you can use a GUI file manager to browse/move/delete images. As a matter of fact, you can do anything in the camera's memory (Which is what is mounted as a file system) that you can do in a normal file system.

I am using a lexmarkz53. Its driver was written by lexmark, and seems to work well. I was having a problem with getting good photo prints, though. I took a sample to BestBuy, where most weekends a guy from Lexmark is in the printer section. He's an older guy who seems to really know these printers. This is a refreshing change from the usual store clerk. Anyway, he diagnosed my problem as a bad color cartridge (made by lexmark), and I replaced it and now all if fine, so far.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
I have taken about 20 pictures in the house tonight, in fairly low light. This camera is great. If you send me your email I address, I will send a couple of examples to you. The default (maybe the highest quality, don't know yet) is a 400,000 byte jpg file. They look really nice on my monitor (fills it up). This camera seems to work fine with linux. I can upload the photos out of the camera without difficulty. IT WORKS! Joel On Sat, Dec 21, 2002 at 05:16:47PM -0600, Bill Day wrote: off subject of your topic..

They didn't have a card reader at BestBuy. The camera is designed to hook up to a USB port. Does anyone know if there is a linux app that supports this camera?

I was having a problem with getting good photo prints, though. I took a sample to BestBuy, where most weekends a guy from Lexmark is in the printer section. He's an older guy who seems to really know these printers. This is a refreshing change from the usual store clerk. Anyway, he diagnosed my problem as a bad color cartridge (made by lexmark), and I replaced it and now all if fine, so far. If you install the latest version of gimp-print, the drivers for the z53 are far better than those from Lexmark. I haven't been all that happy with the photo printing quality of the z53. I think there's supposed to be a photo cartridge to replace the black one for printing photographs, but I haven't been able to find anybody who carries them. I took Peck's advice and just got one of the HP photosmart printers. Tomorrow I'll take it out of its box, and try it on various Linux systems, and on an eMac running OS X 10.2 Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

RE: Nikon Coolpix 2500 USB
Bill: The cartridge your looking for is Lexmark High resolution Photo cartridge - 12A1990 it replaces the color cartridge, 12A1990 being the model number for the Z53 printer. I buy them at Best Buy here in Califronia, usa. you can order them from www.lexmark.com at http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/supplies/0,1230,MTg0NHwx,00.html hope this helps.
