The P72 is also listed as compatible. I'm running 2.4.22-ben2 (PPC) kernel. No problems other than permissions. I don't use hotplug and since it's a single user machine I just mount /proc/bus/usb 0666. gThumb has a nice frontend to gphoto2 (File->Import Photos). It automatically detects the camera and all I have to do is give it the go ahead. Very easy to use. I would upgrade the kernel to a 2.4 series. -- Eric Gaumer <gaumerel@titan.ecs.fullerton.edu>
