I'd like to access the photos on my digital camera directly from the album treeview in the main Digikam GUI:

* Cameras can simply be folders in the album treeview, using a camera icon in stead of a folder icon
* Selecting a camera will show thumbs of its contents, exactly like 'normal' album folders do
* Copying images from the camera is simply a matter of drag and drop to another album folder
* Cameras can automatically be added to the treeview when connected and removed when disconnected.

I think this can be a very simple and intuitive way to access a camera. Users who want more options can always use the more advanced camera dialog.
