I bought an HP Photosmart 215 camera (refurbished from www.compgeeks.com)
camera.  It's inexpensive, takes decent pictures, and is seen as a USB
mass storage device by any recent Linux distribution.  No tweaks required.
 Heck, gphoto isn't even required.  Plus, it uses compact flash memory
which can be plugged into the pcmcia slot of your Thinkpad using a $10 or
so adapter. This saves camera batteries and is faster than using the USB
interface.
