I think in general you should check that your camera produces files that GIMP can open. If are considering something more than a point-and-shoot camera, for example a reflex, and you want the best quality and flexibility, sooner or later you will hear about RAW files. These are not standard files, every manufacturer produces its own format. You should check that a GIMP plugin like UFRaw can open RAW files created by your camera in order to convert to tiff or jpeg. I am using my Nikon D80 without problems with GIMP and UFRaw on Linux.
