I have an Olympus Camedia C-460 which works fine if you set it up as a
USB mass storage device.  I have a note to myself which says:-

    * Connect the camera to the USB port
    * Look in /var/log/messages, there should be a new device /dev/sdc1 created
    * As root "mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/camera"
    * The pictures will then be in /mnt/camera/dcim/100olymp
    * Create a new directory in /two/pictures/downloads and copy the pictures there

Obviously your destination directory won't be /two/pictures/downloads
so you'll have to adjust that for your set-up.  You'll also have to
create /mnt/camera (or whatever you want to call it).
