This camera requires GPhoto2. It works with Digikam, FLPhoto and GTkam.

Using KDE it's as simple as plugging the cameras USB cable into a USB port. A FLPhoto icon will appear on the desktop. Click on the icon and select Album -> Import -> Camera then download all the photos you select. You can also delete pictures with the software.

I love it!

<edit> Here is a HOWTO for Digikam and hotplug.
http://digikam.free.fr/hotplug/howto.html

/bin/bash

UPDATE: The above link http://digikam.free.fr/hotplug/howto.html has a link to some scripts usbcam.tar.gz. The tarball has two scripts (usbcam & digikam-hotplug) that go in /etc/hotplug/usb/. The usbcam script has a line to determine the $USER which doesn't work. Because that line doesn't work the usb device remains owned by root and is not accessible by a normal user. The line looks like this:

USER=`who |grep "\\W:[0-9]\\W " |awk '{print $1}'`

I changed it to this:

USER=`who |grep ":[0-9][0-9]$" |awk '{print $1}'`

And that works, and the device is accessible to $USER.

Also the HOWTO has no mention of how to report bugs so that is why I have posted that here.
