I tried these suggestions and when i looked at the dmesg I got this for my usb device

usb.c: USB disconnect on device 2 hub.c: USB new device connect on bus1/2, assigned device number 3 usb.c: USB device 3 (vend/prod 0x8086/0x630) is not claimed by any active driver

I got this todat testing a friend's cam - it generally means that the camera is not usb-mass-storage compliant and hence needs proprietry software.

I get a similar display from my canon g2. I'm confused though since the libgphoto2 stuff says it supports the canon g2?

I can't say, I'm afraid, because my camera turns up as a mountable filesystem...

Do different versions of Linux work with digital cameras to the point that some versions will work with it and some will not?

Well, it's going to depend to some extent on the kernel version... With respect to the kio slave, if it's installed, I believe you use camera: as a protocol prefix in the address, but as to how to make that work?
