hi,
can anyone recommend a decent linux compatible digital camera?
Most modern digital cameras (not WebCams) have two modes of
connectivity to the PC -> Semi-proprietery P2P mode and USB Disk mode.
I think, its almost the same on most mobile phones as well.
You can connect your camera directly to your USB port and if your
camera model is supported by your photo software of choice, it will
automaticaly start downloading the same. If it is not detected
automatically, then you can always change the mode to USB Disk and use
the same software to download the pics.
The third option is to remove the memory card and directly to your
PC's card reader. Most cams use SD or Memory Stick Pro. Hence all of
them are generally compatible (FAT 32 File system).
And yes, Raja's sugestion of using dpreview.com is a good idea to
choose a good cam.
Note: I have never had any problems connecting Nikkon (SLR), Sony
(Point and Shoot) or Cannon (Point and shoot) cameras. Never tried
other models.

Natarajan.
