I bought my wife an Olympus Camedia C400 digital camera ~2 years ago. 
It is USB so all I do is mount the camera(/dev/sda1).  Then I can use
any image viewing software I want, I like gqview.  When I want to save
the pictures, I just use cp.  I haven't found a way to delete them from
the camera though.  I still have to use the camera's delete function. 
gphoto does not work with my camera but I hear it is good.  My wife uses
ipics or something like that on OSX which crashes while importing the
pictures.  I find mount and copy to be far easier and more intuitive. I
highly recommend the Olympus cameras if you are looking.
