[TriLUG] Digital Camera vs. Linux

[Michael Hrivnak]

I have a Cannon PowerShot A40, and it works flawlessly.  With Mandrake
9.2/KDE, I simply plug the usb cable from the camera into the computer,
and a camera icon appears on the desktop.  This is a sweet camera with
lots of features to let you take control, but it does a terrific job of
automating things if you prefer to let it do the work.  I imagine they
go for under $200 now.

I'll second the Fujifilm FinePix (mines the 2600), just shows up as a
USB storage device, files copy over no problem.  Takes great pictures,
but not the greatest in low light non-flash using moments (flash
pictures are great though).  The webcam option of the camera doesn't
work (or at least I haven't figured it out yet) with Linux.
