With previous versions of Fedora I have had issues with my Cannon Powershot A430 digital camera that I have never resolved.
I upgraded my workstation to Fedora 8 recently, so today I plugged the camera into the workstation rather than my Windows laptop.
Fedora detected the camera straight away and let me download the images. Perfect. Couldn't ask for more. This is one more nail in the coffin of Windows on the laptop ...
I love Fedora.

Had a similar experience. Our second daughter bought a cheap digital camera from the Aldi supermarket chain and I had doubts as to whether it would be recognized. Plugged the Traveler DC5900 into F8 laptop and gthumb found it straight away. Could use the Windoze driver CD to scare birds from the almond tree...

Similar story. My mother refuses to use anything but the most basic camera, and I picked up a CIF camera for £5. I installed the windows software on my dual-boot laptop, It was a dog. I succeeded in accidentally deleting all her pictures. I hated it, and was afraid that she'd never forgive me if I deleted something that she actually cared about. I tried it in linux, not expecting to succeed. Digikam found it, identified it, and works perfectly with it.
