I have used my Canon Powershot S-70 on both Gphoto and Digicam without
any special setup or issues. Most Canon models share a common interface
and will work with either of these programs.
Siri,
I have an Olympus Camedia 8080 WZ, which isn't recognized by any program
I know about. I have a little Q-Stor card reader that Linux recognizes
as a USB drive. It's one extra step, but it's easy enough.
Just don't ask me how to do it from the CLI.
