Digital Camera help

[Don Calfa]

I tried vfat for the card reader (PRO III) which didn't and still 
doesn't work.  Bill@billjonas.com found a bone for me to chase about 
that issue that I will try later tonight.  Looks promising.

As for retrieving and deleting while connected to the camera, I will try 
your syntax and post back with the results.  I used gtkam and Gphoto2 
and am not able to delete the images.  Somewhere I read this and 
expected this which is why I bought the media reader.
