 That's one of the nastiest abuses of the principles of least surprise
I've ever seen.

 Same here;

[root at bartender /tmp]#  gphoto2 --auto-detect --port usb: -n
and there
Model                          Port            
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon PowerShot A20            usb:            
canon_initialize()
Debug level: 1
Unknown camera! ()
Status: Camera unavailable
Status: Could not obtain directory listing
gPhoto2 reported the error 'Unspecified error'
[root at bartender /tmp]# 

 I'd love to know why they are printing out "and there"..
