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.
the issue is, the EOS cameras up to the 400D, with the Digic II processor, used older incompatible protocols, everything since the 450D (Rebel XSi, new in 2008) use the modern protocols (with Digic III and newer camera processors). My guess is, newer linux systems no longer support these older protocols.
