Its been almost a month since I bought my camera (Canon S3 IS). The same day, I loaded a non-canon firmware on to it. This firmware added histograms in all modes, storing RAW images and the ability to run scripts. Yes, scripts!
I took it with me on my trip to Ohio, and snapped several pictures. Digikam has worked very well for me in the past for organizing pictures, and it came through flying even this time. One thing I missed in digikam was the ability to export to picasaweb, though I understand it is coming soon. I used fspot to upload pictures to picasaweb (its a pain uploading 5 pics at a time!)
I also tried my hand at the “Transparent Screen” trick – See flickr photoset for more.
Here is my attempt at the same, without a tripod. All editing was done in Krita!
Conclusion: For a amateur photographer, GNU/Linux suffices for photographic needs. YMMV!

I once made one where my laptop was in front of my PC, and in the screen of the laptop, it was like looking through to the inside of the PC… lmao…. I was bored

I didn’t know you could mod the firmware on cameras! Cool!
