I'm honestly not sure about Linux. I contacted Canon for you and I will post a response when I hear back from Canon. Sorry I can't immediately help you.

OK, here's the response I got. And you probably won't be happy with it. I guess Linux blogs are the best place to go for your concerns. Sorry.

libgphoto2 supports that. Still couldn't figure out how to make gphoto2 and kamera to work with it but gphotofs mounts it automatically. (libgphoto2 2.2.1-16 - Debian)
