Actually, that's not (always) true...I use the ICA to do this with a 
Nikon (D200) camera, though the same code does NOT work on a Canon 
(40D), so your milage may vary depending on the hardware.

Now that I think about it, I think the shutter activation worked, but 
downloading the captured image did not, using ICA; I had to resort to 
using the Canon SDK for that.
