You mean, you are willing to use bloated gnome and/or kde apps?

Any ways, an alternative is to have sw that mounts your camera, and
then sw to view images once their storage is mounted.

If you don't use gnome, neither gvfs (which automates mounting), what
I recommend for mounting usb camera storage is "gphotofs", which can
as well be auto mounted/unmounted in combination with "autofs".

And for watching the pictures, there are lots of sw, and one simple
and light one is "xzgv", or "gtksee" (I don't know if gtksee is
abandoned these days).
