<br>
gPhoto 2.0 is a complete redesign and rethinking of the original gPhoto. This new release introduces a digital camera library API that allows any application to provide support for digital camera interaction. It includes support for serial-port and USB cameras, with the ability to easily support other physical connection types.
<br>
gPhoto 2.0 comes with a powerful command-line interface, but if you prefer a graphical interface, you have several to choose from, including native ones for both GNOME and KDE!
<br>
Support is in place for Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, OS/2, and other Un*x variants. gPhoto 2.0 is extremely portable, allowing a single camera driver to be used on any platform that gPhoto supports!

Lutz Muller has written a GNOME front-end for the gPhoto2 libraries. Screenshots are available at http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~urc8/GnoCam

GnoCam is available for checkout under module "gnocam" in the gPhoto CVS.

gPhoto2, the next version of gPhoto, is under heavy development and will be in alpha soon. This next version allows any front-end to have access to digital cameras. gPhoto2 is also extremely portable. Ports to Linux, *BSD, Solaris, and OS/2 are already functional, with other platforms in the queue.
