I have used gphoto2 on Linux, it has its limitatons, not all functions on all cameras are supported, especially for Canon. Canon never made an attempt to be Linux compatible, My Canon scanner has no Linux driver for example. But gphoto2 allows me to download pictures from thw Canon camera. gphoto2 --list-files gphoto2 --get-files 729-1000 --new etc, auto detects camera (almost any). see man gphoto2 Never use it, just get the sdcard and put it in the PC, much easier.
