Thanks to all, It seems the problem was due to how I started the process. The first time I connected it to linux I booted before I turned the camera on. I reversed the process and booted with it already on and linux gave me a new "Hard Disk (sda1) mounted at /mnt/removable" All pictures now just appear as files in a folder--too easy! Aron, I think the optio 555 only has one format, USB mass storage. Mike
