Check out 'gphoto'. I have used it alot and its great.
Im not 100% sure thought that it can use USB but I see no reasson why not
if your system can handle it.

Hi Thomas,
there is absolutely no problem to link your camera to Linux!
1. One way is gphoto but when I saw that it is not neseccary I preferr the
second way (with gphoto no experience):
2. combine camera with USB cable and switch on the camera. Load all
modules for usb, at least I had to load usb-storage.o (usbcore.o and
usb-uhci.o were already loaded). Type fdisk -l (as su) and you will find a
new SCSI disk, let's say sda1. Mount it and be happy!

excuse the (maybe) silly question, but how to mount the SCSI-Disk? In my
system, i only see it under "USB-Devices" and there, i'm not able to mount
it.
Thanx

Oh, sorry. It was too short, here hopefully a bit more understandable:
1. Look whether you all needed modules (my system is SuSE 7.1 wird
standard 2.4.0-GB kernel, you don't need necessarily a graphical desktop):
- - - - -
lsmod
Module Size Used by
nls_iso8859-1 2848 0 (autoclean)
lp 4656 1 (autoclean)
mousedev 3968 0 (unused)
hid 11744 0 (unused)
input 3104 0 [mousedev hid]
usb-uhci 21712 0 (unused)
nfsd 67536 0 (autoclean)
ipv6 117744 -1 (autoclean)
vmppuser 6176 0 (unused)
parport_pc 13456 1
parport 12736 1 [lp vmppuser parport_pc]
ide-scsi 8000 1
usbcore 46480 1 [hid usb-uhci]
- - - - -
So usb-uhci and usbcore are loaded but usb-storage is missing therefore
(as superuser, if not type su before...):
- - - - -
insmod usb-storage
- - - - -
Now all modules are loaded. Please remember that ide-scsi is also
important!
2. Check you devices:
- - - - -
fdisk -l
Festplatte /dev/hde: 16 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren, 59560 Zylinder
Einheiten: Zylinder mit 1008 * 512 Bytes
Gerät Booten Anfang Ende Blöcke ID Dateisystemtyp
/dev/hde1 * 1 204 102784+ 83 Linux
...
/dev/hde7 55514 59560 2039656+ 83 Linux
Festplatte /dev/hdg: 16 Köpfe, 63 Sektoren, 59560 Zylinder
Einheiten: Zylinder mit 1008 * 512 Bytes
Gerät Booten Anfang Ende Blöcke ID Dateisystemtyp
/dev/hdg1 1 508 256000+ 82 Linux (Auslagerung)
...
/dev/hdg7 55513 59560 2040160+ 83 Linux
- - - - -
The only important thing: There is no
/dev/sda1 ...
3. Conect CP995 via USB cabel and switch on the power.
Type again fdisk -l and you find /dev/sda1 !
4. Mount this new device
You are still root and normally the FAT filesystem is recognized on
itsself so that you don't need to specify the filesystem
- - - - -
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/NIKON (i.e.)
- - - - -
5. Having access!
You also have access to /mnt/NIKON as a normal user. But deleting is only
for superusers!

linux, (August 2001)in this gourp which encouraged me to try the
procedure with my Kodak DC.
USBview shows the Kodak connected like following:
KODAK DC280 Zoom Digital Camera

Though the DC280 is connected, fdisk -l does not find /dev/sda1 !
(like in the description for the Coolpix) or another device for
mounting.
How can I find my pictures in the Kodak DC280 in an uncomplicated
way without gphoto usw.
Any idea?
Please help me.

Ingrid,
Here's what I had to do to get my Sony CyberShot DSC-1 working under linux.
Perhaps a similar procedure is needed for your camera:
