What I'm after allows shutter control with a mouse click - any other

Linux will see the camera as a USB device and let you grab the
existing files on there, to force the camera to take pictures in
"tethered"
mode check out "gphoto2", if it supports your camera, then it could
help :-

Linux is for when I get a bit more ****ed off with M$ - I found some digital
camera capture apps with an ftp search, but I also found a load of other
interesting stuff, so it could take a couple of weeks to do the download
queue.
