Sometime in December Michael M Delaney assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| Does anyone have any suggestions for a digital camera that will work with
| Linux, espcially one also capable of taking a few minutes (1-6) of video?

i have a cannon a70. it take cf cards, and i think it supports upto a
gigabyte. so that's the limiting factor in the size of the video you can
take with it. here is a video i made of the seals in the san francisco bay:

it's a 3.2m camera, and it has a lot of neat features. i don't plug the
camera directly into my computer, i use a cf reader from best buy. the
reader will read cf, smart media and something else. you should check out
the reviews here for the different cameras:

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
