I have used libgphoto2 without exif for a while and could retrieve thumbnails fine. The camera driver that seems to be used is ptp2. Maybe libgphoto can automatically select the exif option if a driver that needs it is compiled. Will --with-libexif=auto do that (or will it just automatically find if/where libexif is installed)?

Is there some other feature (such as auto rotation) that needs exif support in libgphoto2 or can it simply be omitted if thumbnail retrieval works fine without it?
