How about Canon Powershot A620 or a more recent model in these series?

I have experience with DSC S40 digital camera by Sony. It uses memory
stick. But it plays really nice with Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 in this case).
IIRC, it plays nicer than some Canon cameras .... I was able to change
the label of the memory stick while the camera was connected to the USB
port, something I haven't been able to do with a Canon camera. Other
than this little quirk though, I have never had a problem with any Canon
camera either (have Powershot A520 and G5, both work quite nicely with
Debian Testing, Unstable and Ubuntu).
