It shouldn't matter what sensor the camera is using, it matters how the
coded up the USB profile (FYI: The professional Canon cameras also use
CMOS sensors). I would imagine that they use the USB Mass Storage
profile - so they'll just mount in Linux. If you plug it in, then type
'mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/floppy' that will put it in your floppy
directory.

If that doesn't work, you should look to see what /var/log/messages says
when you plugged it in.
