So my wife rushed out this morning to Target to get an $88 digital camera. 3.3 mp. Plugged it into my desktop (running Fedora, of course) and all I had to do was add an entry into fstab for the camera and create a directory under /mnt/ and I was able to mount the camera just fine. Wild. It's a Vivitar (can't remember the model off the top of my head) if anyone cares. Anyway, what a nice surprise.
