I just acquired a Sony digital camera...a dsc-s730...and am trying to
decide what software to use under Gnome to deal with the pics.
The camera is recognized fine by the kernel...it appears as /dev/sdb1
Where should I start ??
Thanks

I'm no expert, but if you're looking for an image manipulation
software, the GIMP is one of the most popular ones.
apt-get install gimp
I'll also appreciate suggestions as regards software to transfer
images from the camera to a local folder.

DigiKam works under Gnome. When you install it, the parts of KDE that
are needed are automagically installed by apt.
Also, look at Google's Picasa. It will give you some wriggle room in
dealing with sharing photos with family and friends who don't do Linux.
gThumb is the Gnome image viewer. It is less grand than DigiKam but
sometimes that is good.
I have all three running on my computer. I don't use anyway near all
the features of any one of them. They seem to all work together. YMMV

To manage your collection take a look on gthumb and f-spot

"F-Spot is meant to be an easy-to-use photo management
application.* It allows for importing of your existing
photo collections, tagging photos with identifiers,
as well as doing simple edits of photos".
Personally I use it and I'm satisfied.

DigiKam is nice...but I hate all those KDE libraries sitting around for
just one program

I may try Picassa again - ran it for a while months back and as I
recall it was fairly nice but still buggy at that time.

gThumb doesn't recognize the camera...and neither does gtkam. Dunno
why...it's not like it's a brand new model.

gphoto2 in Sid is a 15 months behind upstream, but even the latest
version doesn't recognize the dsc-s730.
However...
The camera is recognized fine by the kernel...it appears as /dev/sdb1
Linux sees it as a block device. Mount /dev/sdb1 as type vfat and
see if that works.
(Actually, I'm surprised that Nautilus didn't try to mount it to the
desktop...)

That's what I ended up doing --- and just did a straight copy to a
directory in my home.
One annoying thing that's going on...each time I connect the camera in
one logon session, the kernel bumps up the device..i.e.
sdb1/sdc1/sdd1/sde1 and so on. So I have to keep checking before
mounting. Can't this be automated ???
/rant
Linux in general seems to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to video
and graphics. My wife's XP has better tools. (But she crashes more often)
/rant-off

Of course...
When the camera is attached, run:
# /sbin/blkid /dev/sdX1
Then add that to your /etc/fstab. Something from mine, for example:
But I still wonder why GNOME is not automounting it for you.
