A number of upgrade cycles ago, when I loaded umass, I could plug in my
Olympus D-540 camera. It would be recognized as a da device and
could be
mounted as a FAT drive (i.e. msdosfs).

Eventually the HPLIP driver was improved to the point that it broke the
scan, fax, and card reader functions. But it still works as a printer.
Meanwhile it seems umass was upgraded to the point that it can no longer
use the camera. So I cannot get photos out of my camera either way.
Can you set the camera to PTP mode?
I don't know what that is, so I suppose the answer is no.
Well, maybe it isn't - have you checked the manual of your camera?

If so, you may be able to use gtkam to get photos out of the camera.
It's
the only way my RELENG_7 box is able to talk to my Nikon Coolpix L5,
which
caused the machine to crash when used in umass mode
(http://lnk.nu/freebsd.org/u9q.cgi).
Did it work on previous releases?
It did work with FreeBSD 6.x, but that was on another PC so I don't know
whether it's the FreeBSD version or USB controller hardware that makes the
difference in my case.
My camera worked on some release in the past and many releases prior to
that. Somebody broke umass. All I am asking of that person is: when did
you break umass, so I can downgrade to just before that.
I'm not trying to "justify" FreeBSD, just suggesting a possible alternative.
