To be honest, if you are using a camera that uses a memory card, the very best thing you can get to access the images under Linux is a Card Reader. There are also units that are pen drives that accept the various memory cards. Then it makes no difference if your camera is usable under Linux or not...

I am about to purchase both a digital camera and a digital video camera. Of course, I need to make sure that I can use both devices under Linux.
So, if anybody has purchased either type of device recently then I after kind of a mini review as to how usable its been.
My father-in-law has a Fuji FinePix camera. I plugged it into the laptop running Mdk 10.0 and an icon automagically appeared on the KDE desktop labelled "Harddrive" which contained all the photos on the camera as jpg files.
Whenever I turned the camera off the harddrive icon disappeared. Bad things happened when the camera was unplugged or turned off when the files where still in use by any application (including the konqueror window displaying the files as thumbnails).
