I have at least a dozend cameras listed starting with A (before Cannon)
The listed models should be the same as

gphoto2 --list-cameras | sort

Maybe you pick up and old/broken libgphoto that you installed once
in the past somewhere else?

	ldd /usr/bin/gphoto2

Any odd library location listed?

No.  But the tool is must have if you want to track down
if a camera down/up load problem is digikam's or gphoto's
or maybe your fault ;)

<caution>
I maybe wrong but I remember that Renchi replaced the
gphoto driver for mass storage devices with a 'better'
implementation.  Is this correct or just too early in
the morning to think clearly.

No, not required. You can mount yourself then use
digikam.  Btw. any directory works, just put some
pictures in.  No need to stress the camera batteries. ;)

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
