This camera uses PTP protocol. As I have found, the protocol is widely used by many giant firms. And it's theoretically possible to represent some part of this protocol as a mounted file system (and some [OT] OS does it).

I don't want to say wrong things, but that's what I think: Cameras, especially the ones from Canon speak a specific protocol which transfers files from the camera to your computer. Because of this you can't simply mount the card in your camera. It's rather necessary to use a card reader for this purpose, like you do, or to use gphoto which understands the camera specific protocol. Greets, Rafael -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
