Digital Cameras are great.
+
Just like real cameras for taking pictures, but you get the picture to your pc immediately to play with, none of this developing and then having to scan.
KyleCarter uses his DigitalCamera to take photos of all sorts of crap, and displays it all online at his gallery. http://www.feet.net.nz/gallery/
I also know PhilMurray has a digital Camera and gallery http://www.nevada.net.nz/gallery

+RaymondBurgess doesn't actually own a DigitalCamera but has a gallery at http://gallery.deeperdesign.com/

+zcat(1) has a cheap Concord EyeQ and puts pictures up at http://zcat.wired.net.nz/gallery/zcat/ (or http://zcat.themall.co.nz/gallery/ or http://zcat.meta.net.nz/gallery/ )

+!Software
+Linux software for transfering pictures off cameras:
+* [gphoto2|http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/] (the "main" software, it has all the low-level libraries and a CLI)
+* gtkam ([GNOME] or [GTK]-only front-end to gphoto2)
+* kamera ([KDE] front-end to gphoto2, also allows you to use a camera:// URI in konqueror)
+* [GIMP] 1.2 and later - if gphoto2 is installed, you can use File -> Acquire
+
+These programs have [Debian] packages of the same name - I would guess [RPM]-based distros do too.
+
+----
+!Notes/Trouble-shooting
+* Almost all "recent" cameras use [USB], so make sure you have the correct USB support in your kernel (this seems fairly likely).
+* Also, many "recent" cameras (such as the Kodak DX series) use the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP), which gphoto2 supports. Some other cameras might require kernel support for their own protocols.
+* I had trouble with USB on my AMD/VIA machine and kernel 2.4.18. 2.4.19 works fine (and that's without VIA_82CXXXX chipset support)...
+* See HotPlug for information on setting up using [USB] devices with linux.
+
+The Kodak DX3900, unlike all the other DX cameras, doesn't allow uploading files from your computer to the camera - you get a write error.
