Re: Support for new bridge cameras

Hi,

The bridge cameras have silently dropped out of the remote control market :/

- Canon Powershot ... for quite a number of years now.

  You can however use the CHDK third party addon firmware, but it is not
  as nice as the original capture code.

- Nikon Coolpix
  Even newer ones might some have "limited" capture functionality, without much configuration.

- Pansonic Lumia ... no capture possible over USB AFAIK.


The Nikon 1 and Canon EOS M series have some capture support (EOS M very fresh
in libgphoto2), but then you could already buy a low end DSLR for the same price.

Ciao, Marcus
