It should (I even only have gphoto2 ver 2.2., because
I download images via card-reader).

The other option is to ask on the gphoto2 mailing list,
after testing the following steps
a) connect camera, what is the output of dmesg
   (only the camera related part)
b) gphoto2 -v
c) gphoto2 --list ports
d) gphoto2 --auto-detect -L
e) gphoto2 --abilities
f) gphoto2 --list-folders

In addition you might try to compile the current svn version of gphoto2
and see if it works better and only then proceed with installing
digikam from source...

Best, Arnd
