Ken, some of those were on my list to add to the wiki too. Then a page on how to use them. As to cameras, those that use USB (and that's just about anything in the last 5 years) either appear as a USB Storage device, like Ken's Nikon - my dad has one of those, in which case they just need mounting. Or they need gphoto2 to do the PTP. Some can be switched into either mode. Randy's description is on the nail. I'm sorry my simple question provided such a big thread and personal discomfort. I had to be out and about today, and couldn't contribute 'til just now.
