Dear all, does anyone have any NEGATIV experience with digital cameras that should be connected to Linux via a USB interface?
The reason I am asking this question: I would like to buy a Pentax Optio Digital Camera. As usual, the manufacturer state only some infos regarding Myrcosoft and MacOS -- but nothing for Linux. I know of friends that successfully make use of a Canon IXUS via USB on under Linux. Is there any risk that the Pentax camera could not work with Linux? Or, is the USB standardized such that every camera that can be connected via USB is also manageable under Linux? Thanks for any info! -- Lukas Ruf Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Office: ETZ-G61.2 Computer Engineering and Phone: +41/1/632 7312 Networks Laboratory (TIK) Fax: +41/1/632 1035 ETH Zentrum PGP 2.6: ID D20BA2ED; Gloriastr. 35 Fingerprint 6323 B9BC 9C8E 6563 B477 BADD FEA6 E6B7 CH-8092 Zurich
