Hey guys,
I've read all the posts I can find about this, but still haven't got it working. I can get both gtkam and digikam working with my camera as root, but not as a user. I did what the wiki page told me--no love.
Can somebody give me a hint? thanks.

ensure that you are in the camera group

and that your camera is being recognised by udev and assigned to root:camera (I'd use a combination of lsusb and ls -lR /dev/bus/usb to find out)

I am in camera, but neither command told me anything about root:camera. lsusb shows me the camera, but ls -lR returns basically nothing.

It could be that your camera is not one known to libgphoto2. Have a look in /etc/udev/rules.d/54-gphoto.rules for the vendor and product ID shown by lsusb. If it's there but it's listed after the check-ptp-camera line then fixing that to read
PROGRAM="/lib/udev/check-ptp-camera", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"
should get it working after restarting udev. If it's not there then making a local rule ought to work, e.g. for my Fuji FinePix S5700 I used to have to put
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04cb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="01c4", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"
in my /etc/udev/rules.d/91-local.rules.

you may need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/54-gphoto-rules and manually add the product id and vendor id.
To know the ids, type:
lsusb

azleifel solution in using 90-local.rules is better in a sense that an update to libgphoto will not overwrite your setting.
