I don't know if my Fuji S5600 meets your "basic point & shoot"
criteria but it was reasonably cheap bought direct from Fuji as
'returned stock' and quality is OK for me.

I plug in the usb cable, switch on and issue command
<mount /dev/sda1 /media>*

I then use mc to find any pics in /media/dcim/

once they are copied or removed from the card, umount it and switch
off before removing the cable.

I started off using the supplied windows software but soon found I
didn't need it.

*I don't have a fancy desktop that pops up a desktop icon when usb
devices plugged in
