Are you also in the USB group? My Canon is USB and I had to be in it |

for the camera to work. You may want to try running as root. If it |

works then, it's a permissions issue. If not, it may be hardware/software. |

Also, I use gtkam to get my pics. It works pretty well. I just happen |
43 |
to like the way I can do the names when I download. |
