Check out www.gphoto.org.  There is a compatibility list there.  gphoto
is packaged for Debian but supports very few current models.  gphoto2 is
under development and supports many more cameras.  I bought a Canon
Powershot A20 which is not specifically supported, but a simple patch to
gphoto2 did the trick and I can now move pictures to and from my camera
from my Debian machines.  This is especially useful on my laptop so that
I now have capacious storage for pictures when I'm on the road.
