I don't know yet. My S80 is working fine as a USB mass storage device. 
Ofcourse, Ubuntu offers to open F-Spot because "the media contains 
digital photos". So I don't expect any problems with its successor.

If you're looking for a serious compact camera, and it's as good as the 
first signs suggest, it's going to be great. However, don't expect 
quality to come cheap though. The S80 was as expensive as an entry-level 
SLR.
