[Bug 504401] [NEW] gphoto2 can't transfer photos from a Canon PTP camera

[sampattuzzi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gphoto2

The camera is a Canon IXUS 95 IS. The problem is I can't transfer any photos over the USB cable which ever method I try. 
Firstly I tried F-spot but this didn't work as it took a long time trying to get the image previews. It gave the following error on the terminal repeated for every image it tried to access:
 [Warn  17:57:20.776] Caught an exception - Unspecified error (in `libgphoto2-sharp')
  at LibGPhoto2.CameraFilesystem.GetFile (System.String folder, System.String filename, CameraFileType type, LibGPhoto2.Context context) [0x00000] 
  at GPhotoCamera.GetPreview (Int32 index) [0x00000] 

So I cancelled the image preview generation an started downloading the images to my hard drive. This resulted in the following error:
Error GeneralError: LibGPhoto2.GPhotoException: Unspecified error
  at LibGPhoto2.Error.CheckError (ErrorCode error) [0x00000] 
  at LibGPhoto2.Camera.GetFile (System.String folder, System.String name, CameraFileType type, LibGPhoto2.CameraFile camera_file, LibGPhoto2.Context context) [0x00000] 
  at GPhotoCamera.SaveFile (Int32 index, System.String filename) [0x00000] 
  at FSpot.CameraFileSelectionDialog.SaveFile (Int32 index) [0x00000] 
  at FSpot.CameraFileSelectionDialog.Download () [0x00000] 

A similar error occurs when attempting to use nautilus and copying the
file or trying to open it.
