George,

Most cameras support USB and give you the choice of a HardDisk
interface.

I have a Casio 3.2MP. I can either take out the SD card or cradle it in
it's stand and connect to my PC through USB.

I then mount this device and read the files.

using this syntax:
mount /mnt/usb1

This assumes that you have an empty folder under your /mnt named usb1

You also need a corresponding entry in your /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1  /mnt/usb1  auto auto,rw,users,umask=000 1 1

This works on RH distros including FC4.

Then you simply copy off the file.

I use mv to move the file and empty the ram.

mv /mnt/usb1/dcim/100casio/* /public/Photos/SomeFolderNameGoesHere.

HTH
