Canon EOS 350D


Dear Linux co-users,

I will be straight forward. I am using a Digital reflex photo camera D-SLR and
to be more specific the Canon EOS 350D (also known as Canon Digital Rebel XT in America).
Well my problem and question is whether I could connect and download my photos
from Linux (I am using winXP as there I have a driver).
I guess it would be difficult to be a driver for every gadget but how trhe hell does
Linux users connect their devices such this one.
Every information would be useful.

Hello - I use KDE's digikam and a 20D - it works perfectly via USB, adn the 350 should eb no different. Just plug it in, no adddional drivers required

What distro are you using? I think any newish distro will mount most cameras as an addional hardrive automagically.

For my 350D I use gThumb and the gphoto2 backend programs. I currently run Ubuntu 5.10 and when first installed it didn't have gphoto2 installed, but once installed it was a breeze: In gThumb, Go to File --> Import Photos and it should be detected.

well I tried to use digikam. I don't have much experience with linux installation though. I am using Fedora Core 3. The weird thing about the configure, make, make install was that i couldn't find the files (binary, manual or whatever).

In the INSTALL file says the default is /usr/local/ but I tried also with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/ but nothing happened. Any suggestions where the files might go after installation. I didn't see any error message also (to figure out s/th went wrong).

Hello eypros - apologies for delay

Fedora uses a package management system (RPM) - if I were you I would use that to install digicam, rather than trying to install from source code. That way you avoid any dependancy problems.
The Digikam package should be on your instalation CD/DVD - if not, you should be able to get the correct version(for your version of KDE and Fedora) from the repositories on their website.

Here's a useful little howto on how to install RPMs http://www.fedorafaq.org/#getsoftware.
