I always into photography, and due to budget constraint never bought a "serious" camera and ended up with point and shooter i.e. Nikon Coolpix L4 and Sony DSC-T50 (this one is free).
Recently I bought a second hand DSLR, a Nikon D70s. My brother lend me some lenses and an external flash light for my exploration.
Anyway, Nikon D70s and Ubuntu work along nicely. D70s instantly recognized and Ubuntu 10.04 offers option to import the photos stored in compact flash.
FYI : If you want to check the Shutter Actuation Count on a Nikon D70S (or how old your Nikon really is) use gThumb, download and open the last photo and click the image data (paper clip icon), search for Total Number of Pictures Taken. Just a guess, this method maybe useful for other Nikon types too.

And this is my D70s photo :

Is the frog dead??
no, it was still moving around when I took the pic, weakly though.
