Mr. Geek, if you mount your camera as /mnt camera, become root in a terminal, cd to /mnt and issue the command chmod 777 camera (where camera can be anything you choose, i.e. removable or whatever). That will allow you to write, delete etc. directly on the camera.
Beware though, sometimes you won't be allowed to chmod even as root. In order to bypass that, you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab so that umask=0 (instead of the default 0022) for the device line. Save that file, umount the device and mount again.
Now you'll have all permission set drwxrwxrwx which means that root, yourself and all others can do as they please.

Kaj; Thanks for the info. It turns out that Digikam allows me to erase the camera's flash card memory without a single problem (it has a delete option). Since Digikam sets up a default folder for the pics in my /home folder, permissions aren't a problem.
My whole problem revolved around the fact that the camera wasn't in "play" mode when I tried to access it. Now it's working fine.
