OK have run digikam at the command line and manually added the camera to
it and now I can view the images. So that at least is progress. It still
does not answer the more basic question of why the camera is not being
auto-mounted as it is on the Etch machine.
Any ideas on that would be really helpful.
Thanks to all who have contributed so far.

If I recall correctly, if I connect my wife's camera directly to my Etch
machine, I have to detect the camera from digikam's menus -- i.e. it
isn't detected automatically. If you wish, I can verify this in a few
minutes.
However, I normally just insert the camera's SD card into my card reader
connected to the computer via a USB cable. Using that external card
reader makes reading the flash drives very easy (auto-detection,
auto-mounting, etc.).

Hi
If it is no trouble for you to verify this, then that would be a useful
comparison to know. As noted earlier, I have now installed digikam and
will use that from now on to download the images from the camera. I am
just used to having the Sony auto-mounted and clicking through the
directories to the images. Force of habit, but I am still puzzled by the
inconsistency between why the Sony auto-mounts and the Canon doesn't and
why my wife's Etch machine auto recognises (and auto-mounts) the camera
and Lenny doesn't. Go figure!!
I don't have a card reader, but it sounds like that may not be such a
bad thing to get, except that it is probably more hassle to eject the SD
card and reload it into a reader and run the risk of damaging it from
frequent handling.
I think that my immediate concerns are now sorted - I can successfully
retrieve images taken. The less pressing issue, but one that will bug
me, is the difference between the 2 cameras on one hand and the the
difference between the 2 machines on the other hand.
Oh well ... :-)
