I've had real good luck using Gphoto with my old Olympus and its serial 
interface:

http://www.gphoto.org

You might also find this script useful if you need to send lots of 
reduced size photos via email:

#!/bin/bash
for file in $*
do
echo Converting $file
djpeg -scale 1/4 -pnm $file | cjpeg > small_$file
done

(Requires libjpeg package.)
