Canon Digital PowerShot SD430 / IXUS Wireless

I bought this one via Amazon.de for 274 Euro, intended as both a replacement for my IXUS 55 and to carry it around with me all the time.
This camera does support remote controllable capture, but only over wireless. I have not yet been able to get wireless to connect.
Since September 2009 the lens no longer retracts (E18 error), which makes this a write-off/loss.

3x optical zoom.
Uses its own rechargable battery.
Uses SD cards.
5 Megapixels in JPEG format, also records video in up to 640x480 Motion JPEG AVI format with sound.
Uses the 'ptp2' driver in gphoto.
