Need Linux digital camera advice

[moth28]

Siri,

I have an Olympus Camedia 8080 WZ, which isn't recognized by any program 
I know about. I have a little Q-Stor card reader that Linux recognizes 
as a USB drive. It's one extra step, but it's easy enough.

Just don't ask me how to do it from the CLI.
