+====== Canon Powershot S2 IS ======
+{{http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B0009JQQDW.03.LZZZZZZZ.jpg?200 }} The PowerShot S2 is not a //mass storage// device so you can't just mount it to get the pictures. Instead it uses the //Picture Transfer Protocol// (PTP). A userspace tool which speaks this protocol is [[http://www.gphoto.org|gphoto2]]. The PowerShot S2 is supported since version 2.1.6.
+===== gphoto2 Setup on Debian =====
+==== with hotplug ====
+The 2.1.6 release is only available in the unstable branch:
+  #> apt-get -t unstable install gphoto2
+or under Gentoo (the rest of the directions here work just fine under gentoo (thanks to original poster)).
+  {~} $ emerge gphoto2
+To make it work for non-root users do the following to let hotplug set up the correct permissions for you:
+  #> /usr/lib/libgphoto2/print-usb-usermap |sed -e 's/^usbcam/libgphoto2/' > /etc/hotplug/usb/libgphoto2.usermap
+The above step makes sure all cams supported by libgphoto2 are known to the hotplug daemon. Debian uses a different script than the default install thus the [[man>sed]]. The rest needed should be set up by the debian package already. If not refer to the [[http://www.gphoto.org/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html|gphoto2 manual]]. The only thing left is to add the users which are allowed to access the cam to the group ''camera''.
+Connecting the camera should print the following in the syslog:
+  Jul 30 16:47:09 rumpel kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using address 12
+  Jul 30 16:47:09 rumpel usb.agent[23381]:      libgphoto2: loaded successfully
+Try your luck with the autodetection and you should see this:
+  $> gphoto2 --auto-detect
+  Model                          Port
+  ----------------------------------------------------------

+  Canon PowerShot S2 IS (PTP mode) usb:001,012
+==== with udev 084 ====
+The hotplug method mentioned above doesn't work anymore with a recent kernel and a matching udev version (udev replaces hotplug). I had to use the following rule placed in ''/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules'':
+<code>
+BUS="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}="30f0", GROUP="camera", MODE="0660", \
+  PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#usbdev}; printf bus/usb/%%03i/%%03i $${K%%%%.*} $${K#*.}'", \
+  NAME="%c", RUN="/bin/sh -c 'chgrp camera /proc/%c && chmod 0660 /proc/%c'"
+</code>
+The rest is the same, add your user to the ''camera'' group and use ''gphoto2 --auto-detect --list-files'' to test.
+===== Getting images from the Camera =====
+You could of course use some GUI like the gtkam utility but I prefer a little script to do what I want. It fetches all available images to the current directory, autorotates them lossless using [[man>exiftran]] and deletes all images from the camera.
+<code bash>
+#!/bin/sh
+#The cameras image folder. use '--list-files' to get the name of the image folder
+FOLDER='/store_00010001/'
+echo "fetching all files..."
+gphoto2 --auto-detect --get-all-files --folder $FOLDER
+echo "Autorotating images..."
+exiftran -ai *.JPG
+echo
+echo "Deleting images from camera (Abort now if not wanted)"
+echo -n "Hit enter to continue "
+read foo
+gphoto2 --auto-detect --delete-all-files --recurse --folder $FOLDER
+</code>
