Thank you for reporting a bug in Linux Mint. Unfortunately I do not have the necessary hardware to reproduce your problem. If anyone else can confirm this bug, please say so. Please check out the Linux Mint Forums, where there are many more people available to help out with diagnosing any problems you have. Please repost this in the forums, and put a link to it here, so I can track any further development. It is also exceptionally useful if you include the output of "inxi -F" when reporting hardware problems. You might also like to check out this article: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html This is a standard response, so it may not be entirely appropriate.

Seems that installing this package (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libs/libgphoto2-2) and its dependency (http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libs/libgphoto2-port0) work like a charm. Since Linux Mint 8 will be based off of its respective Ubuntu (Karmic), my guess is that this problem will be fixed without much effort by Mint 8 (Helena).
