<p><b>New page</b></p><div>* Install the gphoto2 package (there is a gphotofs that merits further investigation):<br />
apt-get install gphoto2<br />
<br />
* List all the known "Canon" supported cameras and pick one close enough. I have an SD870IS, but the "Canon PowerShot SD700 (PTP mode)" works for in lieu of one for SD870IS:<br />
gphoto2 --list-cameras | grep Canon | less<br />
<br />
* Show all the pictures on the camera:<br />
gphoto2 --camera "Canon PowerShot SD700 (PTP mode)" --list-files<br />
<br />
Example Output:<br />
There is no file in folder '/'.<br />
There is no file in folder '/store_00010001'.<br />
There is no file in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM'.<br />
There are 3 files in folder '/store_00010001/DCIM/100CANON'.<br />

#3 IMG_1388.JPG 5357 KB 3264x2448 image/jpeg<br />
There is no file in folder '/store_00010001/MISC'.<br />
<br />
* Change into the directory and get the photos:<br />
mkdir pixs<br />
cd pixs<br />
gphoto2 --camera "Canon PowerShot SD700 (PTP mode)" --get-all-files<br />
<br />
* Last but not least, you'll want to get renrot to fix the orientation and to set mtime to the date of the photo<br />
apt-get install renrot<br />
<br />
* Run to fix the rotation and mtime<br />
renrot --no-rename --no-trim --mtime *.JPG</div>Ohayden
