Canon Ixus 850 (2)

So finally i got the Canon Ixus 850, it costed a bit less than 350€ and came with lots of extras (1GB memory, case, tripod and second battery). As far as i've been testing it i'm quite happy with it, quite fast when taking photos, quite good image quality and no problems using it with digikam. So that's it, i do not regret the buy, maybe it helps for others in the same situation.

Canon Ixus 850

I'm planning buying a Canon Ixus 850 if i can get one for a reasonable price (between 300 for a barebone one and 350€ with extras) before going to akademy 2007. Anyone has first experience with it and want to give some comment? Please abstain people that have a Olympus/Sony/wathever :-)

See you on Saturday on Glasgow :-)

Fix for gphoto2 breakage in Kubuntu

It seems gphoto2 got broken on latest Kubuntu 6.10 (not sure if it's a backport or what) so one can no longer use digikam.

I got it working following the suggestion on Ubuntu bug 91250 that is basically changing BUS!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end" to SUBSYSTEM!="usb*", GOTO="libgphoto2_rules_end" in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules
