I have not had such luck. My Casio QV5000SX is listed as supported, but no
one ever reported real success with it. I tried 3 different computers, all
the com-ports I could find, in all possible port-speeds. The camera is
found, the number of pictures is reported and then the program times out
on reading the com-port. And I have the latest stable Gphoto, 0.4.3.
I also tried other selections of cameras (QV10, QV70 etc.). No luck.
Ah well, you can't win them all. (But I did write to the developer about
this ;-)
