Some cameras don't use the mass storage USB class and use PTP or 
proprietary protocols (e.g., Canon). You might want to check gphoto2 
(www.gphoto.org) which has support for many cameras. gphoto2 is just  a 
library. There are many front ends for it.

PTP is a standard protocol for digital cameras. If your camera supports 
it, you'll probably be able to use it under Linux.

The other option (as the other already suggested) is to buy a USB ready 
for whatever type of memory is used by the camera.
