gphoto and gphoto2 work great.  You can find a list of supported cameras 
here:

I have personally played with the Canon S200 and really like it (but I 
don't own a digital camera at this time).  It is very small, has great 
picture resolution (and quality) and is make of stainless steel (very 
rugged).  You can easily carry this camera in your pocket without 
braking it, which I find very nice.  It is also capable of recording 
movies (with enough RAM - the camera I played with had 128MB).
