Hi, I'm considering buying a digital camera or videocam, but am concerned about being able to download the JPEG images to Linux. Of course, the cameras come with a serial cable and software for downloading the images to Windows.
Does anyone know if these cameras simply pass the JPEG data down the serial line, or is there some special camera-specific protocol they use (rendering it useless without special software)? In the former case, how would I capture the data coming down the serial line? Thanks for any information or advice, Neil.
