[TriLUG] Digital imaging on Linux

[Vestal, Roy L.]

I'd suggest if you are going to use gPhoto, check their site and check the
HCL. I use a Kodak DC-4200 which uses the Kodak DC-240 engine, the "core" of
the Kodak support in gPhoto. It works great USB.

Reguardless of which package you decide to try, check their HCL's BEFORE
purchasing. Keep in mind that smartcard/mmc readers are also supported in
case the camera you want is not.

Since most camera's are now USB, check www.linux-usb.org and see if someone
has it working.

All else fails "google" it!  ;)

Anybody have advice for getting started with digital cameras and scanners on

LInux?  

Is it safe to assume that all major brand digital cameras will work with a 
Linux system for downloading images? 

Is the setup described here 
(http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/linux/jump/0,24331,3389056,00.html) 
typical - the flash card in the camera is configured as a SCSI drive - so 
after being mounted, you just copy image files from the flash card to the 
hard drive?

So the only requirement is that the Linux box needs a USB port?

Thanks,
