Most of the current cameras can use several formats.  The best quality
pictures are taken in the un-compressed tiff format.  The pictures take up a
lot of space at this setting.  For casual pictures the jpeg setting on any
decent mega-pixel camera will give you great results.

I believe the Nikon you mentioned also does mpeg as well.

The one thing all the cameras seem to have in common is that they suck the
juice from the batteries at an extremely high rate.  Go with rechargeable
batteries, some cameras have a rechargeable battery pack built in.

I have a Sony Cybershot but I have never tried importing photos from it with
Linux but it should work like any other USB storage device.  I use my Apple
machine to get my photos of the camera so I never got around to trying it
with Linux.
