When you plug in the digital camera under linux tail /var/log/messages
"tail -f /var/log/messages" and see what device the camera is now listed
as eg sda1 then cd to sda1 and you can copy files from the camera as if
it was any other piece of removable media.
You could use the article below about usb thumb drives as a reference
since once you plug the camera into the usb port it should behave just
like a usb thumb drive would.
