help with digital camera

Hi, I recently bought a digital camera (It's the first I have so I have no idea about how to make it work), Kodak v610.
I plug it by usb cable, but I just get the following from dmesg:
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 4
usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Are there any way to make it work?
I would be happy with just mounting it as a external memory.

I'd thank any comments.

I didn't try to connect my camera (Nikon D50) because I use a memory card reader, USB. I mounted like:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
                    sd??

Look in the kernel.log I think and you will see which one do you have.
For me works.

Re: help with digital camera

My camera produces the same output and I can't use it as a simple USB device but it works flawlessly with  glibphoto2.
While your camera is not listed on their list of supported cameras you can try if it works, the predecessor to your camera is on that list.

You also will ned gphoto2 which is a command line interface to libgphoto2. For a gui there is gtkam for GTK and there are surely others for QT out there.

Your camera seems to have bluetooth so that might be another possibility to get the photos, but I've got no experience with bluetooth so there I can't help you.

Indeed, it is probably not mountable as external memory, but it might work with libgphoto2 - I would suggest gthumb as a GUI front end, if you want something very simple. It might be, however, that libgphoto2 support for this camera isn't quite there yet ... I saw on an ubuntu forum that the udev entry might be missing. Try 'lsusb'. If you get something like this:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 040a:05ac Kodak Co.
it might help to add a line like:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="040a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="05ac", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"
to /etc/udev/rules.d/gphoto.rules

And your user needs to be in the 'camera' group.
