[edit] Canon Powershot A200

This thing was driving me crazy with USB permission errors. The documentation on the gphoto site was apparently obsolete and incorrect, and to fix it all I needed to do was this:

File: /etc/udev/rules.d/gphoto2.rules
 
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="3062", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"
  

Hopefully it'll save someone else a lot of hassle. 87.254.83.25 18:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

The proper values can be gotten using lsusb - the last two number values, respectively. User:Sudrien

[edit] Canon Ixus 800

Unfortunatly this doc is quite out of date. The camera is mounted correctly with udev and the device nodes are created correctly with group set to plugdev. But it seems that gphoto2 goes to /proc/bus/... so I had to add my user to group "usb" as well.
