 From the (5 or so) cameras I've used with my PC so far, it seems to be 
mostly the latter, and mostly with various quirks and bugs to boot. Yay. 
Perhaps I've just been unlucky.

USB mass storage class devices seem rare, alas. MP3 players and digital 
cameras should both use it, but both do so only rarely :-(
