Directly acce digicam images in iPhoto

The fact that iPhoto, even the latest and shiniest '06 version, doe 't allow acce to a camera's storage card to pick and chose which images get imported has irked users acro this great planet of ours for years - until now. macosxhints has discovered that striking the return key twice when the import screen is di layed (upon co ecting a camera or card) will enter users into a manual browsing mode, allowing them to browse their images directly from the device, the way it was meant to be (at least as an optio I'd bet this is yet another undocumented feature).

The original hint poster stated that they couldn't manually move images over; he/she could only browse them. Rob Griffiths, however, added that he could in fact manually import a custom selection of photos, suggesting that this might work on a per-camera basis. He requests, and I echo, that users who try this out post their camera model and experience over at macosxhints so they can get a good list of working models.
