Thats right, not only is it possible, its easy! Just connect your digital camera via USB, login as root, and type
mkdir /mnt/camera
mount /dev/sda1 -t vfat /mnt/camera
The location of your digital camera depends on how many SCSI devices you have attached to your computer. So if sda1 doesn't work, try sda2, sda3, etc.
Logout of root and type
cd /mnt/camera
and you have your photos.

It would ideal if by then an instant messaging standard has been agreed upon.
