Is anyone of you able to successfully use Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 digital camera in Linux?

What software do you use for that?

How do you connect? (USB?)

Depends on what you want.

If, like most people, you just want to copy/move files between camera and
computer: connect with USB. It will act as any other USB mass storage
medium, no program needed.

Yes, that would be enough.

And how about those MemoryStick Duo cards? Is the data written on them available via USB too? (I mean card put into the camera, camera connected via USB to the computer.)

I read that those MemoryStick Duo/MemoryStick Duo Pro cards use some "copy-protection technology" ("MagicGate"), so I wonder if that would cause any access problems or not.

Perhaps you have to use Sony software to access those data, or what?!...
