I have had success with a sony trv-340 combo digital camera/ video camera.  I 
can plug its usb interface into my ibook running Debian, and the smart stick 
storage media becomes available as /dev/sda1.  I mount it where I want it and 
bingo.  I was amazed at the automagic ease.

I have an older sandisk compact flash adaptor.  I have to load several 
modules to use it.  Newer models just require that you have the usb_storage 
module loaded.  Soon I will buy another adaptor.  

I will be extremely interested in any of your experiences as well.  A school 
has approached me with a desire to build a linux only photo workshop.  I 
would like to make it a LTSP project, but I don't know yet if the cameras can 
be mounted to thin clients.
