I just bought today an EOS 350D, and I could retrieve the images
(almost) without any problem.
(athlon usb2 laptop with latest Sid and 2.6.12-k7)
Importing works very well.
After importing I just get some errors while deleting
"PTP : reading event an error 0x2002 occured"
(I have checked the option "delete images after importing")
but the deletion works anyway.
The only pain I had is with the camera group.
I have spent one hour trying to figure out why importing was not working,
and I finaly discovered that libgphoto2 had added a "camera" group,
and that I was not in this group!
After adding myself to "camera" everything's ok.
But this is not user-friendly AT ALL !!
Something should be made to warn the user that a new group is being
added, and that some features of the OS will depend on the user being
or not in this group. Maybe a warning should be added in the
postinstall debconf?
The better option would be that libgphoto2 should issue an explicit
warning about PERMISSIONS, the current behaviour (of gtkam, gthumb,
nautilus, etc.) is an inacurate error message (camera not plugged or
not recognized). I guess the error message comes from libgphoto2.
Can the reporter confirm (or not) he forgot to add himself to the
camera group? The 350D seems to be supported since 2.1.5
