#115 Add support for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V

[Yannick]

Hello,

I have a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V compact camera but it is not in the GPhoto list for the camera supported.

Can you add it with the following informations ?

With PictBridge mode enable :
$ lsusb

With PTP/MTP mode enable :
$ lsusb
Bus 007 Device 018: ID 054c:0491 Sony Corp.

$ gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model Port

I have added the ids and data, thanks!

If you ar wondering if capture would be possible, I am afraid this camera does not support capture in its firmware.
