Pure magic. FYI: Fortunately, many new cameras use the USB Mass Storage Protocol, which is the standard used for connecting USB hard drives, so it very much is just a case of plug and mount. The other major new protocol is PTP, which is a photo industry standard for transfers. Even Canon, normally the least forth-coming manufacturer, has started using these protocols. These protocols allow us to at least download our shots, if not to control the camera. Cheers! John. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You can check in Gphoto if it is supported, or look at www.linux-usb.com (or org?) whether the kernel understands your camera.

But when I was in the Control Panel, I went to Mount Points with the camera on and connected, just as if I were going to transfer the images. The camera showed up as removable media, even told me the correct size of the smart media card. I was able to name the mount point, and I haven't had any problems with it since.

[newbie] USB digital camera
A friend has asked me to check out a camera received as a present. Plugged it into the USB port and ran up usbview. The camera is certainly detected but how to get at the data on the chip? Should it be mounted as a filesystem and if so what type. I have a feeling it is a character oriented device rather than block but in either case don't know what to do with it. This lady wants to take the camera on holiday in three days time. This is the first occasion I have ever looked at USB and am confused by the references to SCSI in previous threads. scsi-mod and aic7xxx are loaded.
