Greetings all; 

The camera is a Canon pssx429is(bk)
Otherwise called a PowerShot SX420IS
plugged a match usb cable into it, but while camera cts differently with 
usb power applied, there is zilch logged, either in syslog or dmesg 
indicating a connection is available.

Canon has only drivers using nfc, or wifi, and only for the last 4 
versions of (spit) winders.

Is there any hope of getting the images out of it short of removing the 
card and putting it in a reader? I'd rather not do that, so while as a 
camera it beats my nikon l100 by a country mile, I'll take it back for a 
refund based on lack of image access by any means under linux. Mounting 
it in a reader does work, but leaving it in the camera makes buckets 
more sense. I've taken one pix, so an ls -lR of /media/usb0 gets this:
 gene@coyote:~$ ls -lR /media/usb0

Does this provide any clues as to how to do it with the card still in the 
camera? Digikams autoscan finds nothing.

Thanks for any clues folks.
                                   
Cheers, Gene Heskett
