Sony looks like a nice camera. The only problem is that it only supports Sony ram sticks, not any standard RAM. For that reason, I would not buy it. I'm waiting until the $2400 Canon SLR comes down to earth at ~ $900. and I'll go for it. (!!!) --doug On Friday 24 May 2002 13:18, Charles Griffin wrote:

Hi!

I have a question about digital cameras. Where can I find a list of supported cameras? And, is there someone using a sony digital camera with linux?? How it's going? I plan to buy a Sony Digital Camera but I really don't know if the product will work, so please if someone got a model working, tell me which one? I have a list of interesting models... DSCP50, DSCP51, DSCP71

Thanks Martin

Martin,

You may want to take a look at the list of cameras that gphoto2 supports: http://www.gphoto.org/cameras.html.

Gphoto2 is included with SuSE and it works great. You can use gtkam as a nice gui interface. it also installs a plugin in the Gimp which also works great to download pictures directly into the Gimp.

Best, Charles

At least one of Sony's digital cameras looked attractive, (I haven;t bought anything at all yet) but are you aware that Sony uses its own proprietary storage media, which is not compatible with anything else in the world? --doug

I bought a Digital Camera last month (Canon Powershot S30) after looking at a lot of things and checking with co-workers. For me, the S30 was the best fit. I rejected the Sonys because I wanted a camera with a compact flash card although I would have settled for a Smart Media card. Standalone readers for CF or SM run about $30 US or less retail. There are several that read both. HP/Pentax, Nikon, Olympus, Canon and Sony are excellent There are a lot of very good references complete with specs, opinions and list prices. After looking a bit, I decided I wanted to keep the price <= $500 US for a camera with a small footprint so I can easily put it in a pocket or purse. I also found the Nikon Coolpix series to be excellent as well as the Pentax/Hp cameras. The web sites below have good reviews on just about every decent camera as well as opinions.

I have a nikon Coolpix 990, is a semi-professional camera withh all MANUAL, you can use the AUTOMATIC but is no good, is a Camera for people that like take photo and knows about exposeture, shutter speed and more. It has a CF, and I bouth a Lexar CF Reader and San Disk CF Reader and both work with linux, if you want to check photos, enter in: http://www.picturetrail.com/hgonzale In this site all are reduced, I have it in the original size 2048x1536. -- www.geekcode.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/cc/e/it d++ s+:+ a-- C++$ UL+++$ E++ W+++$ w--- O---- M V- PS PE+++ Y+ PGP- t+ 5 X++ R tv+ b++ DI-- D+ G e++$ h! r++ y++ ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ - A veces creo que hay vida en otros planetas, y a veces creo que no.
