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.
