Cannot import photos from newer cameras with this old version

[Okki]

Since the 2.4.6 version shipped in Karmic, all these cameras are now supported (my Canon 7D is in this list...)

* Apple iPod Touch first generation
* Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS
* Canon Digital IXUS 100IS
* Canon Digital IXUS 110IS
* Canon EOS 7D
* Canon EOS 500D
* Canon PowerShot A580
* Canon PowerShot SD770 IS
* Canon PowerShot SD1200
* Canon Powershot SX200 IS
* Canon A1100 IS
* Canon SD780 IS
* Canon SD940 IS
* Canon G11
* Canon IXY 220 IS
* Fuji Finepix F200 EXR
* Fuji S5 Pro
* Kodak M863
* Kodak Z915
* Nikon CoolPix S220
* Nikon CoolPix S225
* Nikon DSLR D300s
* Nikon DSLR D3000
* Nikon DSLR D5000
* Sea & Sea 2G

Because gphoto is in userspace and not in the kernel, I don't see what problems could cause such an update. In the same time, many owners of new cameras will be happy to use it... (sorry for my really poor english).

Formal request to include libgphoto2 2.4.8 in Lucid made in bug #519811.

[Okki (gnomelibre)]

It's a good thing to have the latest version in Lucid, but for now, it would be better to have a backport in Karmic...
