I just gave it a try. If I run

digiKam 2>&1 >/tmp/digikam.log

I also still see the output to stderr on the console. However, if I 
*first* redirect stdout to a file and *then* stderr to stdout, it works 
as expected, i.e.

digiKam >/tmp/digikam.log 2>&1

works for me.

I also stumbled across a similar problem a long time ago, but I don't 
remember why it makes a difference which redirection comes first.

BTW, I'm running openSUSE with KDE, and when I open a konsole window, I
indeed get a bash shell:

$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

I think that, as Remco already pointed out, it depends on some system 
setting which shell is started when you open a konsole window.

I find it much easier to pull the memory card out of the camera and put 
it into a card reader than to directly connect the camera to the computer.

Doing so can be much faster if the card reader and the computer support 
USB3, but the camera only USB2 or USB1, which support only lower data rates.
