On the D200 you hit the menu button; then go to the System menu; within
the System menu go to  USB ; inside USB you have two options :  M for
mass storage ; P for PTP ; set USB to M ! Sorry I don't have a D700, but
I am almost sure you will have also the choice between PTP and M mode in
the USB settings.

It looks like something has been changed between SuSE 11.1 and 11.2,
regarding usb devices.  In 11.1 I was able to download images from my
camera by digikam using the PTP mode. This doesn't work any more in 11.2
for a reason that I don't understand. But downloading is possible in M
mode. In this case you don't find the camera in the digikam  "Import ->
cameras" menu, but in the "Import-> usb-devices" button.

you will not see the D700 as a device when it is set to PTP mode; I
checked that with my D200  and found no /dev/something for the camera
when it was set to PTP.

when set to M mode, kde will probably mount it automatically. The kde
device notifier will probably offer you to open it by the Dolphin file
manager and then mount it. At least in my case it works this way.
