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.)

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 & USB
If it is EXIF or IPTC then some graphics apps will keep the data when saving a jpg. If it is a newer camera besides the time/date etc. with EXIF you also have a 160x120 thumbnail along for the ride. I still use windows for graphics but I bet that gimp probably saves the extra data. I remember reading that imagemagick also saves EXIF data. There are cross application display problems with EXIF data saved files sometimes.

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.

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..

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 & USB
Thanks. I followed your suggestions and they worked perfectly. Dang, this is good. I just wish I knew why sda1 works. What this means is that I can automate picture taking at work, maybe. This may be really good.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 & USB
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
One other thing: In the event you want a great photo printer, get an HP PhotoSmart 7350. The things are slick and work *great* in Linux (HP wrote the driver that is used in Linux) and all features are supported. The photo's that you can print are, in my opinion, excellent. Further, when just printing documents (StarOffice or whatever), the printer is as fast as sh!t through a goose.

Re: Nikon Coolpix 2500 & USB
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. In a pinch, I've used my camera to move binary files between machines. Imagine.

Does anyone know if there is a linux app that supports this camera? Joel gphoto2 supports some nikons, but I don't see yours there. Do you know if it is a usb mass storage device? Try this. In a terminal as root type: tail -f /var/log/messages Then hook up the camera to the usb port, and turn it on. See what message result. It may give you some clue as to a device. If not, as root in a different xterm, try mkdir /mnt/camera then mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera This *might* work. See what messages result. The following applies to my fuji 3800. cd /mnt/camera shows a directory structure where my pictures are located, so I cd /mnt/camera/*/* and there are the pictures.
