Last December I shopped for a cheap (<$100) digital camera, and in this price range at least, my impression was that the trend was very much toward PTP. I wanted one that could be mounted as USB mass storage, of course, which really narrowed down the possibilities. In the end, I made a bit of a mistake: sorting through so many features I lost track of the mass storage feature and didn't confirm it in the camera I ended up buying (Fujifilm). It turned out the camera was PTP-only (can't be switched to mass storage). So I have to live with gphoto2.
