That's interesting; even with the kernel patch I can't access the camera
when running digikam as root. If I go to Add Camera on the Camera menu
the dialogue appears and it will auto-detect my camera or I can select
it from the list, but the OK button is permanently diasabled so I can't
save the settings, which means that the camera never appears on the
Camera menu so I can't access it :-/

Do you have any idea why that is? It works fine as a non-root user.

Also, it only works if I select 'Canon Powershot A70 (PTP)'. If I select
the non-PTP entry (which is what it auto-detects as) when I try to
connect I get a message "Unable to connect to camera, check it is
plugged in....". I'm 99% sure it worked in non-PTP mode in earlier versions.

I bet it is panicing. Immediately (you have to be quick) after selecting
the camera from the Camera menu in digikam hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to
the console and you should see the panic message.

If you also add the ruleset to /etc/rc.local, to allow non-root users to
access the camera, that I posted in the PR you should change the line

          /sbin/devfs rule add path ugen1* mode 666

to read ugen0* not ugen1* as your camera is on ugen0 as is mine - I just
pasted the lines from the URL I mentioned. I guess ugen* would work to
in case your camera does not always appear as ugen0.
