Malcolm,
I would not be quick to lay blame on the camera as most cameras I have used from many brands tend not to like hubs.
Currently I use a Belkin powered 4 USB port and a powered USB extension cable I got from Jaycar. The Belkin I got from Ebay.
It works nicely on an SBIG ST8300 whereas using a non powered USB hub and a non powered extension lead failed.
I did a thread on what USB hubs are good recently. You may look at the answers on that.
I googled USB hubs reviews and got some computer mag site that reviewed various brands and rated them. Belkin was near the top.
Greg.
