Behind the fancy graphical front end that takes photos from your camera and lets you work with them on your Linux system is a little package called gPhoto2. This package is actually a back end used by various other graphical programs, including, as you will see shortly, Konqueror. A number of digital cameras are supported through gphoto2, 436 of them as I write this chapter. To discover whether your camera is supported directly, shell out and type the following command: gphoto2 --list-cameras You should see output similar to the following shortened, example list. Number of supported cameras: 436 Supported cameras: "AEG Snap 300" "Agfa ePhoto 1280" "Agfa ePhoto 307" "Argus DC-2000" "Argus DC-2200" "Barbie" "Benq DC1300" (TESTING) "Canon Digital IXUS" "Canon PowerShot Pro70" "Canon PowerShot S10" "Canon PowerShot S40" "Epson PhotoPC 700" "Epson PhotoPC 850z" "Panasonic Coolshot NV-DCF5E" "Panasonic DC1580" If your camera is not listed, don't despair. A visit to the gPhoto Web site for an updated version of the software may be all you need:
