I've got a Canon Digital IXUS 300.  Initially I couldn't get s10sh to work 
either.  I managed to get it to work by hacking the source code.

It seems that the author had momentarily forgotten how to count in Hex, 
with 0x3050 comming after 0x3049.  Running in debug mode told my the 
actual Product ID of my camera (0x304D).  And once I knew this it was 
fairly simple to get something that worked.
