Not all cameras work are recognised as storage devices. As a rule of
thumb, if Windows accesses it thru twain or a dedicated app, it's a job
for (lib)gphoto2 .. if it's recognised as a removable disk, it's a job
for usb-storage.

( for cameras such as the Canon 300D, it may be easier to buy a flash
reader. Remove the flash/microdrive card, pop it in the reader, and
it's a usb-storage device. )
