I've used the G1 (a friends) with my T-20 and my T-22.  Well, in
either case, I used a PCMCIA CompactFlash adaptor for it.  It worked
perfectly.

I just stuck it in, then mounted the device.  It showed up as
/dev/hde.  Check your logs/dmesg to confirm.

The file system on it is vfat.  It should be pretty straight forward.

gPhoto2 appears to work with the entire Powershot G series.  So you
may want to try that as well.

I'll be getting a G3 within the next week and I'll report back my
successes.
