I have a Canon A70 that uses a Compact Flash card, and the camera itself can be connected to the computer with a USB cable. Fedora recognizes the camera with no problems and I can use gthumb to import pictures from the camera. It appears that you can select the Nikon DSC D70, so you can probably use that method as well if you wanted. I have a USB multi-card reader that mounts in a 3.5" bay for my desktop that I believe works in Linux. I think as long as you get a decent USB reader (Lexar or Sandisk or another name-brand), you should probably be okay. Jonathan
