This camera can also be mounted like any disk (USB Mass Storage device) if you go to the camera's setup menu (on the camera itself, not your computer), select USB Connectivity, and change it to Disk Drive. Then, assuming you have hotplugging set up so the correct driver gets loaded and the device appears when you plug it in, you can mount it with the mount command. It gets mounted as a vfat filesystem, the same as most floppy or ZIP disks. Then you can just copy the pictures you've taken to your hard drive like you would copy any file. I prefer this approach to using a specialized digital camera program because it's simpler.
Edit: using the above strategy, you can even use the camera to copy any file to/from an MMC card that you've inserted into the camera. So you can use it instead of buying an MMC reader/writer, even if you're not copying pictures!
