Description:

This is a Sony Cyber-shot W120 (DSC-W120) 7.2MP camera. It works with Linux. Here are the ways in which you can use it with Linux so far:
1) With a Sony Vaio laptop with the memory stick reader, you can insert the stick and read it with an adapter (get one of those 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duos with the Pro adapter and you're set). However, as of Slackware 12.2, udev and hal don't pop up the device on your desktop in Xfce, so you may need to manually mount and read it from this slot.
2) With a Sony Vaio laptop with the VGP-MCA20 card reader, you can read it as a Memory Stick Pro (with adapter) and it will pop up on your desktop in Slackware 12.2 Linux with Xfce. This is the easier method, and is also faster right now than the native card reader. This is the Express Card reader that came with my laptop.
3) You can plug the cable into the camera and then plug the USB into your computer and it is discovered as a USB card reader. You will see something like this:

This is a great product, especially if you already own a Sony Vaio laptop (because you have a card reader built-in). This camera works great and is easy to use. It works properly when plugged in via USB: it acts like a card reader. I got mine off of Sony's refurbished outlet. I could not tell it was used or refurbished: it looked brand new when it arrived.
It takes good pictures. I would prefer a Nikon only because their file format is so much nicer than simple JPEG (but then again, you don't see thumbnails in Thunar).
All in all, great purchase, and I would buy it again.
