I have found that most cameras format their flash memory using the FAT file
system, so I stick a line like this in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1               /mnt/camera     vfat    noauto,rw,user  0 0

And make sure I have compiled the following kernel modules:

vfat
fat
usb-storage
sd_mod
scsi_mod
uhci
usbcore

Then, I can just attach my camera via USB, turn it on and issue:

mount /mnt/camera

And I can now deal with the JPGs on the flash memory just like any other
files on any other file system.

And verily, this is the Unix Way.
