I had forgotten that Canon has corporate sockets only for windows, there are no linux drivers on their site. Linux is a swear word in their boardroom. And only one, I think type C connector, which doesn't charge the battery, you have to take it out and fit it into a pocket on a wall wart to charge and it takes quite a few hours, 8 or so to charge if the camera says its on the last dregs. I can copy the pix from the card, but even their storage crunching still leaves them at 2x the size my nikon makes. So I can smunch that down to 5% and still show a great image to the net. But I can see where image retrieval is going to be a PITA. Or I take it back, and get something that speaks ptp. > regards > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-users-unsubscribe@...
