Try it as root. Does it work? If so then follow instructions at

Thanks Alexis! I can access the camera as root, indeed. As soon as
I get
home I´ll try your suggestion.
If your camera is supposed to be mounted as a USB device, I think you
should also be in the plugdev group.

The camera isn´t a usb device. Every linux tuto in the web tells me
to use it as a ptp device. Its intriguing, actually, because its
setup has a 'USB mass storage' option. Maybe Nikon´s usb
implementation is uncompliant?
I have a Nikon D70 and it works great with usb storage. I have
unloaded gigabytes of photos like that.
Set it to USB Storage in the setup on the camera and attach it to the
computer. Look in your system log to see what device it is assigned
and mount it as a vfat file system.
If you run Gnome with the gnome-volume-manager it will be mounted and
opened automatically when you plug it in.
You have absolutely no need for gphoto for the D70.
Gphoto documentation states Nikon d70 as a ptp mode camera. ptpcam
states that, as well.
If I use the usb mass storage option, I get lines like these on my
dmesg, whe I turn the camera on:
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001445
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001446
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001455
end_request: I/O error, dev sdb, sector 2001487
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001424
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001425
Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 2001426
If I insist and try to mount it, I get:
frank:/home/bruno# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
frank:/home/bruno# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/usb1
mount: /dev/sdb1: can't read superblock
If I use the ptp mode instead, both gphoto and ptpcam can see the camera
and download files.
The only explanation is D70 being differently detected than D70s, which
I find odd.
Anyway, ptp mode s doing well now. I'd only like to access it in a
non-root account.
