For what it's worth, I tried our new camera on our desktop computer
running Mandriva 2007.0. digiKam found a camera, but couldn't operate
it. 'lsusb' produced this

Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04a9:317a Canon, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I never did get it to work.

I tried the new camera on an HP laptop running Mandriva 2008.1 (aka
Mandriva 2008 Spring). digiKam again found the camera, but this time
everything works fine. It looks like a modern version of the operating
system combined with a modern version of digiKam is fine. I'm not sure
how modern the Linux software needs to be.
