a 350D is an *old* DSLR. I believe it predates the adoptation of the universal camera profiles on USB. Even in MS Windows land, the early DSLR's don't work with the current generation Canon SDK, and the old Canon SDK that does support them doesn't work on current MS Windows versions.
Yes it is old. At the time I bought it, a 6MP camera was just a little below the top cameras at the time which were 8MP. Now you can get a 40MP camera in a phone. It still works just fine though and I am pretty much a point and shoot photographer so it works for me.
missed the start of this thread, but that camera seems supported by digikam.
digikam is in epel for el6.
maybe give it a try?
HTH
DigiKam would "see" the camera, giving the impression that it is supported but when I tried to import, nothing happened.
I got it to work now.
When I turn the camera on, I get the dialog asking which application to open. The problem was that the camera was getting mounted even if I selected "Do nothing". I found that if I selected "Start digiKam", that it didn't start so what I ended up doing is select "Do nothing", unmount the camera, start digiKam manually, then when I go to import, digiKam is happy.
