My first digital camera did make an kernel panic when I'd tried to
connect it to the computer, and the second do require some software that
only runs on windows. I'd bought an card reader for my SD card, and it's
working all ok, it behaves just like any other memstick. Connect the
reader to the USB and put in the card, find the device with dmesg and
the partition with disklabel, and mount. My card reader have four slots
for different cards, and it spawns four devices: /dev/sd0 .. /dev/sd3.

If you cannot mount a memstick it may be because your kernel do'nt
support SCSI, assuming you have the USB ports up and running. 

A bit of my dmesg as an example: 
umass0 at uhub4 port 7 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: Generic Mass Storage Device, rev 2.00/1.10, addr 2
umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 4 luns per target
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <Generic, USB SD Reader, 1.00> disk
removable
sd0: drive offline
sd1 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 1: <Generic, USB CF Reader, 1.01> disk
removable
sd1: drive offline
sd2 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 2: <Generic, USB SM Reader, 1.02> disk
removable
sd2: drive offline
sd3 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 3: <Generic, USB MS Reader, 1.03> disk
removable
sd3: drive offline
sd0: fabricating a geometry
sd0: fabricating a geometry
sd0: fabricating a geometry

Nothing in particular happens when I'd inserting a card in a slot. 

Hope it helps.

Cincerely,
