My daughter just got one of these toy digital video recorder & webcam unit. It normally shows up as a mass storage drive. If I hold down the shutter button while connecting the USB cable, the camera LCD show a "webcam mode" icon and it shows up as a different USB device. Any chance of this working as a webcam under linux?
