           Summary: panasonic fz 30 not recognized
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: deepak antrix net


Version:           0.8.2-rc1 (using KDE 3.5.3, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.3-0ubuntu0.1 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-25-686

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ 30 camera which was recognized as 'Panasonic FZ20 (alternate id)' by digikam. It then failed to get photos from the camera. 

So I did an `lsusb` for the camera for the first time and (to my surprise) found the description to be for an FZ10. Here it is:

$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 007: ID 04da:2372 Panasonic (Matsushita) Lumix DMC-FZ10 Camera

It's a generic USB mass storage style camera. I don't know enough to see if this is a digikam flaw or Linux USB flaw (incorrect description for ID) or the camera itself is sending wrong info!

Anyway, thought I should file a report and let you fine folks know!

Thanks for digikam!
