I have it working under linux. Even gphoto2 and flphoto work.

I got it working with gphoto2 using hotplug and usbmap file. But, a
command like gphoto2 --auto-detect -P would download the images and then
segfault. 

flphoto would recognize the camera as a ptp class one. Even there I had
some problems deleting the images or reloading the album.

The cvs snapshots of gphoto2 sense this camera correectly. Same with
flphoto as it uses gphoto2. Now downloading images without gui is very
simple: gphoto2 -P. Sridharo segfaults.

Since you too have an A70, try the cvs versions.
