Very happy with my Olympus C2020Z. It's obsolete now, but I think the
replacement is a C3000 or something similar. The only downside is that
it stores movies as Quicktime, rather than a more Unix friendly format.

Can't comment on the USB stuff, but uploading via serial cable works
fine with gphoto with one caveat -- it's *painfully* slow. As a result,
I got a SmartMedia PCMCIA card reader. Just plug it in, and it appears
as a hard drive, which you can mount and copy/delete files from as
normal, which is a major win.
