I'm using it as well (with a Kodak C310) and it works mostly. Soemtimes
it'll get stuck, seems to lock up sometimes when reading from the
camera directly. I also tried gwenview, but I couldn't make it work as
well with this camera. Automounting directly within KDE seems to want
to work, but doesn't -- connecting the camera brings a popup Konqueror
window, with a C310 "folder", but then it gets stuck in that it keeps
looping the directories (it'll go /media/camera/camera/camera/... each
time adding an extra /camera/ path for each button press).

Indeed (provided you have a sufficiently advanced kernel; I had to
upgrade to 2.6.16-1 in order to get the system to recognize this
particular USB "all-in-one" card reader and SD card combination. But I
can get a little better functionality using the card reader approach,
since it just looks & acts like another hard drive.
