I use a smartmedia usb adapter, as my camera only has a serial connection (that sucks). It is super easy to use, too. But it took a bit of fiddling to get it working =) The other benefit is that it is a portable storage device for me, and transferring files to and from work is simple!

I've had my Nikon CoolPix 950 for probably a little over two years now and I can't say enough good things about it. It's been highly rated by Consumer Reports every year and its serial connection works great with gphoto (although I haven't used gphoto in a while). If you have a laptop and end up getting a camera with a flash card, I'd highly suggest picking up one of the PCMCIA adapters for it and you just slap it in to the PCMCIA slot and linux simply sees it as another drive (hde in my case). Just do a 'mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /mnt/<mount_point>' and boom, there's all your pics! Just to keep flapping my gums, I saw in Circuit City a couple weeks ago that Sony's making some now that burn its images straight onto a 152Mb(?) cdrom. Thought that was pretty cool too. Anyway...
