This is what I do. The gadget costs only a few quid. Don't bother with
those camera picture exchange protocols. They rarely work.

Though I'm probably going to snap up a small IXUS 800 with image
stabilisation. No more blurred digital pics, hopefully.

Hi,

I've got an IXUS 500 and it is a very good camera, it also works perfectly with the gphoto2 client for downloading pictures via USB but as i often loose the cable, i agree, a USB card reader is the far easier option.

As a note my camera does not work out of the box on many of the windows machines here at work, but it did work on my debian system "out of the box", also my card reader did not behave on windows but works *perfectly* on linux
