Description: 10.2 megapixel digital camera, 16MB Flash + SD/MMC card, 3x opt/5x dig zoom, video, voice recording, PictBridge, seemingly highly feature-laden. Note "Category" shouldn, IMO, be "Digital Camera", NOT "Samsung", which was already chosen for me.

Connects beautifully (w/o the "Windows Driver" CD :) ) as a USB storage device.
Keywords: digital camera 10.2 megapixel

Camera automounted (under KDE 3.5.10) as a USB storage device. Seems like a nice camera, but I was initially more interested in whether it would connect to Linux than I was in the picture quality! The few photos I've taken around the apartment seem to indicate it's a quality product - and from the recent posts I've seen, it's DIRT cheap (well < $100) ATM.

Only problem thus far: FEATURE-LADEN (to the MAX: the OSD can contain up to 23 info fields - on a 2.7-inch LCD...), and the (86-page) manual is in PDF format on the "Windows" CD. This is my first digital camera - I really need a printed manual for a bit! In Samsung's defense, the camera does seem to be rather intuitive for basic functions.

Highly recommended to this point. I plan on using it heavily in the next week. If my opinion changes I'll update this post.

edit: OK, of COURSE lspci showed no info on a USB device. The nerve! :)
