Cameras can be a complex issue. Some of them can be mounted as a USB drive, and for those you can use the following command (as root):

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt -o gid=floppy,umask=002 

Followed by opening up /mnt in a browser such as konqueror or firefox. Remember to use:

umount /mnt 

when you are done.

Others require that special software be installed (gphoto2 and gtkam)

apt-get update 
apt-get install gphoto2 gtkam 

Still others do not work at all because they have a proprietary interface that works only with windows.
