I sortof remembered them, but have never had a camera that supported
remote control.  Until my brother left his A520 over here, that is ;)

Oops - typo on my part - should be:

gphoto2 --auto-detect --set-config capture=1

(capture, not capure)

At least it picks the right model, and you can see the pics :)  I'm
really curios to see if you can put the A75 into capture mode - I
could then (probably) rule out underlying conflicts and focus on
gphoto/libptp.

Thanks,
Chris
