Camera Help

[brad.mugleston at comcast.net]

Read the Manual - I printed off the gphoto manual (for some 
reason I can't read on line) it steps you through makeing sure 
your USB port is working (mine wasn't)  I don't know what I did 
but all of a sudden it recognized my camera.

Using the command line I was able to download the 100 photos I 
took of my son at the city wrestling match (he took second).

I installed GTKAM and now have a nice front end for gphoto.  It 
even detected my camera.

Now I'm really playing - I've got some old serial digital cameras 
(the less then $20 ones) and one is even listed in the supported 
cameras.  Now I just need to get something to work with it (I 
always had a problem with it even using the software that came 
with it).

Thanks everyone.

Brad
