You might be better off removing the card and using a card reader. Card reader specs are much more generalized and consistent than digital camera specs. If the type of card/reader your camera uses is unsupported by FreeBSD, at least you have a better chance of getting support for it in the future than you would for a specific model of a specific camera.
Hello,
I second this suggestion! Get a USB media adaptor, plug it in, the device should pop right up, then you use the mount command and add it like a disk drive, copy your photos, clean up the disk, unmount, and you are done! (I have no idea if this works with memory sticks, but say, Canon cameras are always putting an MSDOS filesystem on the CF card.)
Another tip: reading the data is only half the battle. Personally, managing pictures is one of the three things I do with my Windows computer. (The other two are games and Quicken.) The XP/2k file browser in "thumbnail" mode is very nice for managing pictures. And you can download stuff like Picasa. (Though, Flickr is a lot like "online Picasa" but you have to pay a yearly subscription fee, and the photo manipulation stuff depends on Flash plugin, so, for now, you need Windows to rotate your uploaded images ....)
Cheers, -danny
