I'll plug my camera too, and answer wolfgang's question also.

I use a toshiba pdr-m4, usb or serial connection, 1600x1200 resolution, (2.1
megapixels), smart media.  It's also not supported by gphoto, but Linux sees
it as USB mass storage device. I mount it under kernel 2.4.x with a mount
command.  I don't have the exact command, as I'm away from my main machine
right now, but it's similar to the following.

mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat -r /mnt/cam

Then simply copy the files from /mnt/cam/ to where you want them.  A couple of
caveats, this particular camera will only mount read-only under Linux, whereas
it is read-write under windows.  Also, if you put the proper line into
/etc/fstab you can mount the camera as a normal user, but I don't think I've
ever gotten supermount to work on this camera.

Finally, there's this project http://toshibapdr.sourceforge.net/ (now dead, it
appears) that allows you to use the serial connection from the command line,
but since USB is so much faster, I haven't used it since kernel 2.2.x days.
