I think just connecting the camera to the USB port should do the trick. It will be treated as a storage device (I guess) so you can copy the files to your hard disk with nautilus. If you plug your camera and nothing happens you can check /var/log/messages to check kernel events. Before connecting do this as root in a terminal window: # tail -f /var/log/messages plug your camera in and post the kernel events to the list. -William
