I use the same technique.  It works with the Fuji Finepix 1400, the Casio
QV series, the Toshiba PDR series, and I have viewed reports that it works
with the Olympus models as well.  If it's a USB camera, there should be no
problem with mounting the memory card as a SCSI device, and then reading
it as a drive.  Also, it doesn't matter whether the card is smartmedia or
compactflash - I have used the same method with both types.
