On the three occasions in the last four years I have purchased a camera from a high street store I made a show of taking along a laptop and ran from a live CD in the store and asked first to see if it was recognised. On one occasion, since I obviously had a very honest face (and a credit card handy) the store manager let me run a shop display machine with a live usb sick with Ubuntu to test the camera. I used canon cameras, and they were recognised although I think a particular transfer mode had to be chosen. In one case it was not easily recognised - maybe the shop guy did not know which menu to use, anyway I actually did not buy that canon model for that reason, I bought a slightly earlier model, which did work for me ok. I thought it was worth it to get information and to make a point.... However, back at the ranch, I never conect the camera at all, I always simply remove the SD cards and use a card reader. Much faster and simpler too. :-) -- alan cocks Ubuntu user -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
