Hey,
This has been my experience with almost all digital cameras. They
detect as mass storage devices (the same as a USB flash drive) and the
photos and movies can be simply dragged and dropped or taken using a
program such as F-Spot. From my experience a better approach would be
to check if a specific camera has issues as the majority seem to work
in the above fashion.
cheers,
Owen.
