    The specifications page seems to imply that it uses standard USB
    protocols (look the mac section, where it says "With OS 9/10.1/10.2,
    USB connection is possible with the standard OS USB driver"). To me
    this says that it works as a USB mass storage device (umass).

    Look at the umass man page for technical stuff (and how to make sure you
    have a kernel that supports it). To see if it's being properly
    detected, plug it in, then look at the the console (or dmesg) to see
    what the kernel says.

    There was an article on using digital cameras under FreeBSD, but I can't
    seem to find it right now.

    If you're still having troubles, you might want to consider FreeBSD-5.2.
    I had one umass device (Creative Nuvo MP3 player) that didn't work
    under FreeBSD-5.1, but it works fine under FreeBSD-5.2.
