I'm not sure I'd buy the Sony just for the reasons stated. I think most 
modern USB connected cameras will simply be recognised as a USB hard drive. I 
know when I plug my Nikon 2500 in to the USB port that's what happens. I can 
also pull the Compact Flash card and pop it in the PC Card slot with an 
adapter with special effort.

The 2.4 kernel with hot-plugability makes it all possible.
