I have a digital camera and I agree with this. I've never bothered to
hook the camera up to try gphoto. I just put the cards in the card
reader and copy the jpg files to my hard drive.
Anyway, I have an Olympus C750 (now discontinued, I think). The *only*
thing I don't like about it is the crappy wrist strap, but I believe
the models that have superseded it have a proper neck strap.
HTH.
