[ale] Coolpix 885

[Gene Matthews]

I just got a Kodak DX3900.  It was one of the few I could find that 
supported PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol).  The linux program jphoto 
supports this (http://jphoto.sourceforge.net/).

I haven't gotten it to work with the cradle, but hooking the usb cable 
directly up to the camera, i can from the command line:

jphoto images

and it will upload all the images from the camera's compact flash into a 
  images directory (or you can specify another location).  All of the 
Kodak DX series cameras and a couple of Sony's support it.  There may be 
more that do, but I couldn't determine if they did or not.

However, the compact flash readers are pretty inexpensive I think, so if 
you can get that to work,
