Greetings all;
The camera is a Canon pssx429is(bk) Otherwise called a PowerShot SX420IS plugged a match usb cable into it, but while camera cts differently with usb power applied, there is zilch logged, either in syslog or dmesg indicating a connection is available.
Canon has only drivers using nfc, or wifi, and only for the last 4 versions of (spit) winders.
Is there any hope of getting the images out of it short of removing the card and putting it in a reader? I'd rather not do that, so while as a camera it beats my nikon l100 by a country mile, I'll take it back for a refund based on lack of image access by any means under linux. Mounting it in a reader does work, but leaving it in the camera makes buckets more sense. I've taken one pix, so an ls -lR of /media/usb0 gets this: gene@coyote:~$ ls -lR /media/usb0 /media/usb0: total 32 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 DCIM
/media/usb0/DCIM: total 64 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 100___04 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 32768 Apr 26 2019 CANONMSC
/media/usb0/DCIM/100___04: total 4704 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4809306 Apr 26 2019 IMG_0001.JPG
/media/usb0/DCIM/CANONMSC: total 32 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 108 Apr 26 2019 M0100.CTG gene@coyote:~$
Does this provide any clues as to how to do it with the card still in the camera? Digikams autoscan finds nothing.
Thanks for any clues folks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

newer cameras have multiple usb operation modes (MTP, PTP etc.). Are you sure you read the documentation around this? Also on my simple camera I have one port for charging and one for data transfer. The second is not a different USB cable. according https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2367467 transfer is possible. Could be your kernel is too old?
Did you read this https://www.supportcanon.com/canon-powershot-sx420-is-driver-download/#Power...
and make sure you have the drivers?

Seems this camera has the ID 04a9.32bf. Does lsusb give anything?
I have an older SX160IS. It gets automounted on /media but I can't find out how. I must say I do use a card reader usually (for all my cameras): it's simpler, faster (and I can continue to use the camera with another memory card).
I don't use the SX a lot however, I perfer the reflex range.

Not a peep but let me add a couple v's. No show, vendor 04a9 is idented as an NEC hub and isn't new, been there for years.

As an old chemical color darkroom escapee, making my own paper developer, both B&W and color, so do I, but supplies for that hobby have pretty much dried up, nobody carries the paper and chemicals anymore. Any paper I might find has been in the freezer in the stores back room waiting for a sucker for 40 years now. But except for Cibachrome, (bring 20x the money and permits from the EPA to possess the chemistry) the dyes were all organic, best kept only sealed in the dark except when you want to look at them. Digital is actually an improvement in the long run. And you can do with gimp, things you can't do under the enlargers lens.

don't know why, but it looks like it should be supported

ID is in the DB http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids

I had forgotten that Canon has corporate sockets only for windows, there are no linux drivers on their site. Linux is a swear word in their boardroom. And only one, I think type C connector, which doesn't charge the battery, you have to take it out and fit it into a pocket on a wall wart to charge and it takes quite a few hours, 8 or so to charge if the camera says its on the last dregs.
I can copy the pix from the card, but even their storage crunching still leaves them at 2x the size my nikon makes. So I can smunch that down to 5% and still show a great image to the net.
But I can see where image retrieval is going to be a PITA. Or I take it back, and get something that speaks ptp.

how many amper do you have on the charger - use recommended for the device - should be 1-1.5A

Configure the camera to make lower resolution pictures - you will reduce the size.

Modern devices use MTP or PTP - install something that handles MTP and try again - I use go-mtpfs

No clue, it came with the camera. Cast into the shell, its says 4.2 volts, 0.41 amps.

Unforch, that will have to wait until I get a fresh install of stretch running on this machine since the wheezy repos have all been moved to archive. However, locate says the libmtp is part of libreoffice. But running the latest 6.2.3, it very well hidden. But its getting late for me.

Ahh, but I've got the way forward top stretch sitting in the cup-holder as of last night. But I'll have to try it in a sacrificial machine first.
If it proves it can move machinery safely, then it will slowly, probably one machine every 2-3 days, get applied to the rest. I'll be replacing spinning rust with SSD's at the same time & haven't ordered them yet.
Lots of LCNC related data to move to that new drive & that always takes tine. Particularly with the first machine I put a new drive in last night, the SOB only has one installed sata socket, so I'll have to mount its old drive someplace else and use my inhouse network to move a few gigs.
Is buster going to be lts?
Thanks deloptes.
