I have a Sony Digi-cam that Gphoto refuses to talk to - however, I was able to mount it in my file system via this script: #!/bin/bash /sbin/modprobe usb-storage mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /Data/Pictures/Camera So now I can just browse to /Data/Pictures/Camera and access my pics! No guarantees it will work for you, but it's worth a try. When / if you plug the camera in, do you see USB "detection messages" in /var/log/messages? Good luck! Jed
