Uhhh...

Since it's usb and a memory storage device... you can probably plug it in via
the usb port on your computer, load the appropriate usb drivers, and then mount
it as a scsi vfat device. Once done, I run XV to view the pictures and gimp to
play with them...

Here's what I use to load the correct usb, fs modules and ends with a mount:

modprobe usbcore 
modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe usb-storage
modprobe fat
modprobe vfat
echo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera

Don't forget to umount the device when done with it.
