Are there linux drivers for Canon digicams?

[Duncan MacGregor]

Using Digikam, 

I happily use a Canon Powreshot A610 and have done so for years. 
I also have a Canon 400D that works just  fine.
I also used an HP 318 with no problems.

Just plug the camera in; Linux <Mandriva 2008.1>  sees it and asks if you want 
to load Digikam for it. Piece of cake.

If you don't want to do that connect the SD card up to Linux through a reader
and treat the SD card   as a file system.

As with other hotplugged USB devices, you must wait a few seconds for Linux to 
see it.
