Actually this is closer to what I have in mind, just downloading the
images is of course important, but I do want to control the camera via
the computer. Both the Fuji S2 and Nikon D1X cameras come with
software which will allow for camera settings to be computer controled,
but also require an attendant.

While it may be that many remote controled apps are ok with the
320x240 (or whatever) video. I'm looking for high resolution images
via computer control, and of course, via NetBSD if possible.

I'll look for web cites on 'PTP'...
