When I ran across this entry; it reminded me of a long ago question I got via email. So I've decided to open comments on the entry to add some additional notes in relation to that question. At the time of this entry, <a href="http://extragear.kde.org/apps/digikam/" title="The KDE Extragear - digiKam">Digikam</a> connected to my camera using USB PTP Mode (? I think that's what it was called, but I am working from memory here). Now that I'm using <a href="http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/">SuSE Linux</a> 9.2, with <a href="http://www.kde.org/" title="K Desktop Environment - Conquer your Desktop!">KDE</a> upgraded to 3.4.2, Digikam actually detects my camera as the correct camera model. Although, wear-and-tear on the camera has made using the camera that way very difficult; the slider switch doesn't like to go into playback mode. I mostly transfer my photos by putting the flash card into the multimedia card reader Michelle & I received as one of our wedding gifts.
