sure mike.

1. got it all working on sarge with a Canon Eos 300D:

2. i installed  gphoto2  2.14 , libgphoto2 2.1.4 and libexif  all debian

3. so: it worked fine till i started up again:    
than: no soap.
so i installed usbmgr and usbview, [ #apt-get [-f] install usbmgr 
usbview] because <gphoto2 --camers-list>  and <gphoto2 -P> told me : 'we 
do not recognize something  like an  usb'.

4. now all works fine permanently.  with/ on  athlon amd 2,4 GB  256 Mb 
mem. two HD's 40 GB, Nvidia GE force 32MB, rock motherboard.

good luck,
