Retrieving media from digital cameras.

$ sudo apt-get install gphoto2
$ sudo addgroup camera
$ sudo adduser user camera
$ /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgphoto2/print-camera-list udev-rules mode 0660 group camera | sudo sh -c "cat >/etc/udev/rules.d/90-my-libgphoto2.rules"

You can write own rules:

$ lsusb | grep Nikon
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04b0:031c Nikon Corp.

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-my-camera.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="031c", MODE="0660", GROUP="camera"

After all those actions restart Linux or restart udev:

$ sudo service udev restart

and relogin to take camera group assigned to your user account.

Check if your camera detected:

$ gphoto2 --auto-detect

List and grab all files:

$ gphoto2 --list-files
$ gphoto2 --get-all-files

Install GUI client:

$ sudo apt-get install gtkam
