1. Who knows about using SANE for digicams supported by gphoto2?
I have a Nikon Coolpix 800 that I want to get working.

2. I am trying to get sane working with my supported webcam.
scanimage -d v4l:/dev/video0
gives:
scanimage: open of device v4l:/dev/video0 failed: Invalid argument

/etc/sane.d/v4l contains:
#
# In order to use the v4linux backend you have to give the device
# You can enable multiple lines if
# you really have multible v4l devices.
#
/dev/video0
