other OS. I know I should easily be able to transfer the pictures as
the system will view the camera as a removable disk (or I can use the
SD card directly). I'm more interested in managing the pictures and
adding captions.

digikam is a nice all-in-one application for this purpose.

Tastes might vary however.

Ciao, Marcus

I'll endorse the digikam route. I've been using this for a while with
both my phonecam (snapshots, USB storage device mode) and Nikon D80
(automatically detected via USB) and the program supports both devices
well. Organisation is well done, with proper tagging of the pictures,
ratings etc. My only niggle is the amount of time taken to convert to a
lossless file format after importing, but apart from that, it works well
for me.

Would agree with the comments for digikam - particularly for KDE users. If
using GNOME I guess f-spot might also fit the bill. And as the OP mentioned
that his wife is using Windows, he might want to consider Picasa from Google.
With the very obvious caveat that Picasa on Linux is a wine app and looks and
feels a bit alien... but if it's what you're used to on Windows it's
definitely an option for Linux.

PS Hope you're well Pete - you should invest in a card reader... they're very
cheap and incredibly useful.
