Mmmmmm... Nice camera!
gphoto is a great program, but doesn't really understand USB yet. You may
want to give jPhoto a shot. It's a command-line tool, but does have support
for the Sony DSC-F707. It can be found at: http://jphoto.sourceforge.net/

btw, My own camera uses CompactFlash cards (instead of MemorySticks). I have
a CF adapter that plugs into a USB slot, so to get my pictures, I eject the
card from the camera, plug it into the adapter, *mount* it (/dev/sda1) to my
filesystem (/mnt/pix ;-), and copy the pictures to wherever I want them.
Downloading pictures this way is really fast and easy, if it'll work with
your system.
