gphoto2 / USB camera

[Nimrod Mesika]

Hi all,

Just got myself a Canon A70 digital camera. The camera connects
to the USB port and uses the standard PTP (picture transfer
protocol) to transfer pictures.

However, it seems like gphoto2 (which supports PTP) on FreeBSD
crashes repeatedly or gives me some message about unexpected 0x2ff
message...

The interface works OK under Windows XP (no need to install any
camera-specific software. XP supports PTP out of the box).

I have also tried using libptp2 (latest 1.0-pre1 from sourceforge)
but to no avail...


Any help would be greatly appreciated.
