Does the manual say anything about PTP or how it works with windows? |

Most cameras are either usb-storage devices, OR support PTP, and PTP is generally well supported by libgphoto2 (and hence gphoto2, gtkam etc). |

Your camera is not listed as supported by libgphoto, but that doesn't mean it won't be supported soon. I would try asking the gphoto2 list |

or looking at their cvs/svn repository (assuming they allow access to it). |

OTOH If usb-storage was going to work, it should work pretty easily. |

googling about this camera doesn't reveal much in the way of linux info. There is a third option of course - that it it isn't standards compliant enough to work with linux at all, in which case a card reader is your best bet (unless it has built in memory that you can't put into a card reader, in which case you may be sool :-( |
