Adrian,
Sorry to sound thick, but can you give a quick overview of what DPP is/does?

My daughter has a Canon, but she is out currently, so I can't ask her!

As a little bonus for those looking towards moving to Linux who may be doing 
any course, the fact that almost all digital cameras can simply be plugged 
into a system running Linux and be recognised and the images 
displayed/downloaded. For many Windows users, that is quite a shock - they 
are used to having to follow the old "install drivers, connect camera, fiddle 
about, reinstall drivers, reboot, try again, wash, rinse,repeat..."

Cheers,
Mark
