Digital cameras that don’t work with Linux.

• http://www.achiever.com.hk/ ADC 65 @ http://rzr.online.fr/q/ADC

• BENQ DC 1300

• BENQ DC 50

• Casio Exilim Z4U (Putting the SD card in a SD card reader works fine)

• Canon IXY 500

• Casio QV-7000SX (Serial port protocol differs from other QV- models)

• Kodak DC-50 (Early serial port model; proprietary .KDC & memory-card formats?)

• Kodak EZ-200

• Minolta Konica X21

• Minolta Dimage e201 (problems with USB Mass Storage, but it writes correct on cf cards)

• Olympus FE-230

• Ricoh RDC-7 Propietary USB Protocol, at least, files on SM cards are now beta driver on rdc7tool.sourceforge.net

• Sanyo XACTI VPC-S3

• VuPoint Solutions DC-M302n-VP VuPoint Solutions. No Linux drivers for it and company refuses to furnish information to create drivers.

Note on Kodak file formats

Kodak’s early proprietary .KDC photo format varies from camera to camera. DC-40 / -50’s .KDC may be similar to one used in the DC-120, but at least one Linux-based conversion program can handle only DC-120’s .KDC’s, but not DC-40 or DC-50’s. Perhaps the change of CCD between the DC-40 / -50 & DC-120 generation cameras explains difference.

Cameras that work with a USB filesystem but lack a webcam driver.

• Fuji Finepix - some models are working now, maybe all in future
• Jenoptik 2.1
• Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xg
• Minolta DiMAGE 7Hi (USB much slower as in Windows)
