So list was about $290, after rebate $190. It has an 8MB flashram and can hold 80 640x480 images, or about 40/20 1152x900 or so images depending on pixel depth. I'm happy with the images but it's my first digicam. Anyway, it's not yet supported by gphoto, but the command-line "psmutils" (linked to from the gphoto site) work quite well with it. I slurp the images via serial line; they appear as JPEG files. (Oddly, I couldn't pull them out with the supplied WinDoze software to my laptop -- but I wanted FreeBSD anyway :-) The utils indicate this is a clone of a Konica digicam, for what it's worth. Seems like good quality for an excellent price. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
