That's the reason why I stick to EOS.
These cameras work great with linux, all the EOS cameras that I touched, they synchronize real nice. Plus it's SLR.
I don't know about your Kodak camera, but it seems like you got your driver unloaded when you need it. Find how to compile the driver and then things should clear up.

Thinking outloud...

What if I remove libgphoto2 & gtkam and I install them (with my own hand) from source?
Maybe I'll try this (when I have time).

Have you tried USB Mass Storage driver? Maybe your camera isn't a PTP one. I have Sony DSC-V1, it's listed by gphoto2 supported, but it doesn't work with that driver, but with USB Mass storage driver only. I use Digikam frontend.

I tried that allready. My camera (Kodak CX4200) works only with PTP

The other solution would be buying a card adaptor and using it to transfer my pictures... But I want to succeed with the cheap way: make things work in the first place!

CAMERAS="ptp2" is what I needed as well. I was trying with CAMERAS="kodak" and that didn't work (different driver).

Someone should add [SOLVED] to the topic.

Same problem, took me a while to realise I needed ptp2 for the CAMERAS variable.

A use-flag description would help. I'd like to see:

equery uses libgphoto2
[ Searching for packages matching libgphoto2... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ]
[ Found these USE variables for media-libs/libgphoto2-2.3.1-r4 ]
U I
- - cameras_kodak : Unless it's one of those easyshare jobbies.
- - cameras_konica : <unknown>
- - cameras_ptp2 : I know, I know, it doesn't say Kodak, but trust me on this one.

The problem with using USE flags is the amount of them that would be needed. Look at the libgphoto2 ebuild and I think it still lists all the CAMERAS variables.

The problem with grouping my manufacturer is that it changes. My Canon G2 can only do Canon protocol. Some newer ones could do Canon or PTP. Most of the newer only do PTP.
