How do I connect a Canon A70 to Linux
I just bought a Canon A70 digital camera and wanted to know the best way to transfer photos from the camera to my SuSE box. I'm running 8.2. I really don't want to go out and buy a card reader, rather I just want to plug in the camera's USB cable and see in in Konq.

Switch to console 10 (press Ctrl-Alt-F10) then plug in the camera and turn it on. In the list of messages will be a reference to a scsi device - likely sda, but possibly another one. Go back to your desktop (Alt-F7) and open a terminal. Mount the device: mount /dev/sda1 (Check the contents of /etc/fstab to see which sdXn to use if that doesn't work.) The camera should then be available as a filesystem in /media/sda1 HTH Dylan

Just a note here, Digikam has a really nice interface for my Canon G2 but does not support the A70 as of yet. I guess it's still in testing. Tom On Tue, 2003-09-02 at 14:13, Dylan wrote:

Dylan, No luck. I went to console 10, plugged in the camera, turned it on and came up with the following: Kernel: usb.c USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x4a9/0x3055) is not claimed by any active driver I got the camera (albeit a Canon G2) to connect to digikam, but nothing else. Thoughts? Tom
