>Description:
Problem with gphoto2:

I use a Sony Cybershot V1 camera.
When I attempted to download the photos from the camera to the computer, or just 
to list the photos, the following error appears:

*** Error ***
PTP I/O error

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Unspecified error'): No error description available
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***
>How-To-Repeat:
gphoto2 -L
gphoto2 -P
>Fix:
/usr/local/bin/gphoto2  must be set uid to root.

The caveat is that all the photos will be owned by root and have to be chown.
