I would like to thank everyone for the feedback on the cameras, sounds
like an olympus is the way to go. But know one has answered my question
about theses working with Linux. Except Robin. Is anyone using gphoto
on linux to get the pictures off of their Olympus or Fuji cameras.
Thanks again to everyone.
