Description: Did not work with GPhoto or any GUI interface. I needed to use the command line to access the photos.

Ensure that the camera settings are USB-mass Storeage, create /mnt/camera and then simply mount it using
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera.

You can then copy the photos directly from /mnt/camera/dcim/100nikon/*.jpg

NOTE: You obviously need to have all the USB and SCSI modules loaded for this to work.
Connection Type: USB

Mass storage support is broken in 2.6.x so far (tried just until 2.6.3). In order to make it work a patch must be applied (search the forums to find it). It seems that usb mass stoarage protocol used by this camera is not 100% standard and works because of a Ms Windows bug...

It worked fine in 2.4.2x series and it worked (at least for me) using latest gPhoto and PTP mode (but it was a pain to set it up).

Haven't tried with latest kernel (2.6.5 at the moment of this review).

Conclusion:
It may work fine once the kernel is patched.

A good camera, which my wife won in a competition. One or two problems getting it to work with Linux though. Tried mass storage with various flavours of kernel (2.4EL through to 2.6.9) with no luck - I think mass storage is a bit off the mark in 2.6.x kernels in any case.

However, I succeeded in getting pictures out of the thing by setting the camera USB mode to PTP and not mass storage, and used gtkam 0.1.11 to down load. Gtkam has an auto detect button that picks the camera straight off in PTP mode.

gtkam 0.1.11 can be obtained from http://www.gphoto.org/
