In my experience, most professional / serious amateur photographers remove their SD/CF cards from their cameras and use a card reader to transfer the images to storage devices (often as part of a work flow involving a digital asset management application such as Digikam). It's common for photographers to store images on relatively small SD/CF cards (e.g. 4Gb), and use several of them during a shoot or trip. (Avoids eggs in one basket.) Anyway, the point is that there's no real need to connect cameras with removable SD/CF cards directly to computers; and Ubuntu will mount cards even if a particular camera uses an idiosyncratic or proprietary protocol for direct connection. mac -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
