I would prefer the USB connection, even with my laptop that does have a card-reader, it's too much hassle popping the micro card from the camera, putting it in the adapter (one I've found it), then popping it into the laptop etc. It seems to me it ought to work over USB.
Yes, I used to do that with gphotoFS.
Popping the card may seem more hassle but I found that the USB link was a terrible batter drain and Unless I downloaded and disconnected right away it could die on me.
The card is just a card, no different from anything you might plug in, and transfers from the card are FAST!
I was sceptical as well but Patrick suggested I try it and I'm a convert now.
I subscribe. While my canon is quite fast in direct connect, my nikon is fairly slow and my little sony (a fantastic camera with f*****g crap of software) lets me feel that it sends an image every hour to the computer.
A cheap multi-card-reader solved it all. Click with dolphin, copy to a folder, import in digikam, done.
I do the same. I can plug my camera direct to the USB hub but the file transfer is slow (both Windows and Linux, so not a "Linux thing") as others have noted. A simple USB Card Reader for a couple of Euros solved it all. Pop out the card, stick it in the reader, stick the reader into the USB socket and copy/paste in the file manager. I can still do the same with the camera plugged in to the USB port, and if I've got only one or two photos to transfer, I will do that instead of popping out the memory card. Photo management... I was using GPhoto, but I've switched entirely to DarkTable. I shoot (almost) everything in RAW anyway, and DarkTable handles RAW very nicely. I've never used the "copy from camera" feature in DarkTable.
