Strange. I don't remember having this issue in F7, but I may be wrong. The only way for me to download the images from the camera is with a usb card reader.
It occurred to me that last week when I got photos from my daughters camera she gave me the memory card, reader, and cable. That worked without difficulty. Last time I used gphoto2 might have been FC-5, whatever, it worked well then. I may not need it for another year.
