Import images from Canon camera on Gentoo

I found a very nice tool to import my images from my camera. I have to use this tool because my Canon EOS 40D can't be mounted for some reason. That's how it looks when i try to mount:
gvfs-mount "gphoto2://[usb:003,018]/" 
Error mounting location: volume doesn't implement mount

Install gphoto2
emerge gphoto2


Then go to the directory where you want to import your files, make sure your camera is detected correctly and execute this command
gphto2 --auto-detect
gphoto2 -P
That's all.

But gphoto can do much more. You can, for example, see how many images you took with the camera, change the whole configuration or capture images directly from your computer. It's worth to read the man page
