[...] there are cameras supporting the so-called USB Mass Storage protocol.
This is a protocol that has been published and lets you access any storage
device, be it a camera or a disk connected via USB to your computer. As there
are already drivers for this protocol out there, you don't need an additional
program like gphoto2. As of now, the following cameras seem to support the
USB Mass Storage protocol:

I'm into this digital camera "topic" with fbsd 4.4 now as well,
and I have to admit: It's a complete mess of systems, protocols
and software. Those responsible for this mess should be shoot!

Anyone who knows how to connect to a

I wasn't aware of the gphoto software - I thought by some freek
coincidence it was seen as da2 .

I've looked into digital photography too, and I think you're right - it
is quite hard to make things work between camera and computer if you
don't rely on the driver software supplied by the manufacturer (such as
in case you're using FreeBSD).

Looking at their web-site, I found the following snippet. It appears
that the camera in question uses the USB Mass storage driver, and
downloading from these cameras isn't supported yet.

    USB Mass-Storage Cameras

The following cameras use the USB Mass-storage driver.

* Casio 2x00, 3x00
* Minolta Dimage 7
* Nikon Coolpix 995
* Olympus C-200Z, C-860L, C-2040, C-3040Z
* HP PhotoSmart 315, 618, 912
* Fuji 1400Zoom, 2400Zoom, FinePix 4700Zoom, Finepix 4900Zoom, FinePix1300, FinePix4500
* Leica Digilux 4.3
* Sony DSC-F505, DSC-F505V

gPhoto does not support downloading from these cameras, although it can
be used to control them (i.e. take a picture, etc... if supported). You
can find information on how to download from these or any other USB
Mass-storage camera from http://www.harald-schreiber.de/ . This page
contains information regarding Casio cameras, but the process is the
same for others.

Now if I tried to use serial or USB to download images through the
camera, I might be in trouble with [lack of] FreeBSD drivers.  Or not,
haven't even tried as the PCMCIA i/f is much faster and doesn't try to
reset the date/time stamp for the image file.
