The Sony DSC P72 is listed under the version of gphoto2 in Testing. You
need to have USB setup and also set permissions for anyone other than
root to use the camera.

I would use the 2.4 kernel in Woody for better USB support. Gphoto2 ( in
Testing) lists PTP support for the Sony, though USB mass storage may
work also, (mounting as a scsi device).
