I have one, an Olympus FE110 digital camera.

It works a treat. I just mount it as a USB device and copy the files onto the
hard drive, then unplug it. It creates the pictures as .jpg files and the
movies as .mov files. Very civilised of it I think.

I've never used it in windows, though there is a CD that loads a program for
loading onto windows. I prefer to use the Gimp for graphics anyway.

I have made a mount point </mnt/camera> for it in /etc/fstab and I have just
one complaint, or two really, that I have not yet found a way to unmount it,
with different umount commands.

Also have been unable to delete the files off it. But I think that might be a
configuration issue, because just writing this I remember that I set it as a
read only instead of read write permission in fstab. So will have to try that
next time. Now that I have just changed it.

It is great fun......

always thinking about very grave things, but I know that we are meditating

gravely about it. .............................Henry David Thoreau
