Thanks, Cory. I'm using a Kodak DC280. First, I had to install gphoto2.
(Thank you, apt-get). When I run the command you provided, gphoto sees
the camera and starts to download the first photo and then provides the
following error message:
*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Timeout reading from or writing to
the port'): Could not query kernel driver of device.
*** Error (-10: 'Timeout reading from or writing to the port') ***
I would read that as a timeout error, but I'm not sure beyond that.
Thanks,
Ben
