Theoretically (!) such USB devices should all be accessible the same way: su <password> md /home/<username>/usb mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/<username>/usb and you should then see the pictures taken as files inside /home/<username>/usb Unfortunately, if this doesn't work my knowledge stops dead; however, my Clie handheld's Memory Stick (with USB connection) is accessible this way, and so are the contents of various USB cameras (it seems). Possibly '-t auto' rather than '-t vfat' may be needed.
