I found in the camera to switch it to PTP mode and I was able to get
gthumb to import the pictures.

I guess a little more experimentation with gthumb will now yield better
results.

I guess the final question is can I still use a generic location like a
media reader to import photos?

Say I mount my media reader /dev/sdd1 /media/sonystick will gthumb be
able to import from there as opposed to only a camera?

Thanks for all the replies.
