Re: Problems with Canon Powershot a70 digital camera

Hi!

Might be of help - I had similar problems just a week or two ago
with my Powershot S45. It went perfectly fine with SuSE 8.2 but
didn't work with 8.0 (on laptop). So I had to put the newest
libgphoto2 and in addition play around with the hotplug package
and it's config files a bit. The problems were a) the
permissions on the usb devices, and b) the sources of gphoto2
had 2 usb-id instances of my camera, so it was identified as one
and accessed as the other. So I had to hack the libgphoto2
sources as well :) Now it works! 

Good luck

P.S. And I don't like the card-reader solution actually - it
won't hurt to have one, but you wouldn't like to carry one
around with your cam...
