I think this rather belongs to -hardware...

Do you mean photo cameras (i.e. for still images) or video
cameras?  Those are two completely different things.

The Kodak DC240 digital camera is supported by "oPhoto"
(http://www.fromme.com/ophoto/).  I'm not aware of any
support for USB video cameras.

  Oh, btw, how long can USB be extended?

There should be information about that on www.usb.org.

 A simple question: Are USB cameras supported? Is anybody working on it?

No. Isochronous pipes are not supported yet, but work is underway.

 Oh, btw, how long can USB be extended?

Hm, the mechanical specification of the cable is confusing before
coffee. I think it was 6ft / 2m.

You'll notice that when connecting full speed devices they will drop
packets and get unwanted timeouts. Low speed devices are more tolerant.
