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.
