   I do pretty much the same as you, except I automate it all through
   hotplug so that just plugging my camera's USB cable into my laptop
   (and turning on the camera) does it all automagically.

   To do it I created (actually copied and tweaked, but whatever) a file 
   in /etc/hotplug/usb.  The file is called "usbcam" and contains:

Nifty.  Two things:

1) I'm assuming that something recognizes the "usbcam" and matches it
against the device.  I prefer to use a card reader because it's a lot
faster than hooking my camera up (the card reader is USB 2.0, whereas
my camera is 1.1).

2) I have multiple cameras (my wife's and mine) and want to import
them into different directories.  Any tips for distinguishing between
two cameras?
