The Kodak Easy Share I have (I don't remember which model, and I don't
have it here right now) does not format the SD card with FAT, it uses
some proprietary looking filesystem.  I almost was able to get it to
work under Linux using some special usb camera driver, but that was
several years ago, so hopefully things are better now.
