Hello<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for the replies. I also thought that Ubuntu would automatically import photos from a modern camera (and, yes, an upgrade is hopefully in the pipeline). I have just managed to mount the camera as a device, and so now know that photos can be retrieved from the camera. There is a wee problem that I have to unmount the device as sudo, rather than as any old user via the graphical interface - but will try to resolve that one tomorrow. Cheers.<BR>
