I have a Canon PowerShot S330/IXUS 330, it works beautifully in -CURRENT as well
as 4.7/4.8. However, I could never get it to work with gphoto. Try gtkam in ports,
it works great. 

Also, check your permissions on the device, I had trouble with that and could 
only access the device as root until I got them straightened out.
Make sure your Camera is being recognized by FreeBSD as you plug it in. If it's
not, usbd may not running and you may not have ohci or uhci compiled into your
kernel. usbd should load the ohci/uhci kernel modules (at least that't what the
5.0 man page says).

Hope that helps.
