Digikam with Olympus Camedia C50 zoom
Having visitors with a newer type of digital camera I found that the industry is now producing a memory card which is not included in my card reader. Something like XD. As the cardreader possibility to download the images fell flat, I tried to connect via usb with the camera in order to find out that the camera was not in the Digikam list. It is a Olympus C50-zoom. Tried some other usb camera's from Olympus but was not able to connect. Olympus itself seems not to know the existence of Linux. Can anybody help me out?

By an external usb cardreader that supports XD. I think that most of them are known as 8 to 1 (or something like that) card reader. I have one and it works great. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Constant, I have a customer with one of those cameras and it attaches well to her 9.1 machine USB. To save battery wear & tear though, she purchased a SanDisk reader for the XD card. Only Fuji and Olympus use the card, to my knowledge, so most multi card readers do not support it. You can probably find one, as Richard mentioned, either a 7in1 or 8in1, but the camera should work directly and appear as a hard disk device.

Thanks, that saved the day. I have 6 in 1 which is more than enough for me and I see no need to buy another cardreader just because a camera manufacturer thinks it is time to develop another card.

The xD card is *not* a newly developed card. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos

No, but it is a PITA when there are so many other good ones out there already they could have used. In fact, I think their newer model cameras will use both. Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

Yes, my two year old Oly-5050 will use four different cards (and AA batteries). -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
