My solution to this problem was to install digiKam and use it to import photos. Seems to work well with different cameras or card readers. Then I point Picasa to my Photos directory where I put all my photos sub-directories. digiKam is not as easy to use for editing as Picasa but is superior for tagging, showing slideshows, etcetera.
