Powershot A75 under Linux?
Thinking of getting an A75 and wondering if it will work under linux?
Will it work as a Mass Storage Device, because that seems to work well for me? -- "Sigourney Weaver is pretty cool, he really kicks ass in all those alien movies, even if he does look a little like a chick." |

The software that is included with the Canon PowerShot A75 says nothing about Linux. Windows & Mac are the only platforms that I see supported. The software manual DOES state that the software will not work on disks formatted with the Unix File System, although I'm not sure if that is what Linux uses or not, as I've never used Linux. -- SgtRich Chicago, Illinois, USA |

I didn't try it myself, as I ended up just using an XP box, but I looked into it. Try googling on "Linux" and "A75" or "A70". Here's one hit that I bookmarked... http://pto.linux.dk/Canon_PowerShot_A70_Linux/ |

The last time I checked, Canon cameras did not act as USB mass storage devices. If they don't, try gphoto2. I don't see the A75 supported, but the A70 is supported, so you might be able to tell gphoto2 to use the A70 commands and/or get a new release of gphoto2. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |

Easiest way to get it working is to spend 30 bucks (Probably somewhat less if you're american) on a Card Reader. I Use a card reader under 'Doze instead of the proper Canon driver as well (There's always debate over whether it's best to use a card reader or plug in the camera). I Use RedHat 9, and it's simply a case of plugging in the card reader, mounting /dev/sda1, and hey-presto, one flash card, full of pics from the Canon. -Chris D |

Oh, and for what it's worth, I've got an A95, I have tried
briefly to get it going under linux, but with no success. I Didn't try too hard, because I preffer to use the card reader anyway. -Chris D |

Followup question, if I take pictures with the A75, then move the CompactFlash card to my old camera which I am currently able to use under Linux as a Mass Storage Device, will I be able to read the A75 pictures via the old camera? Is the CF file format the same for all cameras? -- "Sigourney Weaver is pretty cool, he really kicks ass in all those alien movies, even if he does look a little like a chick." |
