Yeah, that was a bit of a silly question, anyway - i forgot this was a 
linux newsgroup!

What i'd do first would be pop up a terminal window and find out where 
the camera's mounted by doing

  mount

and then do

  'cd /media/camera'

(replacing "/media/camera" with the path to where it's mounted).
Then:

  find . | less

which will list all files on that device. Check for the files that 
appear to be missing. If the photos that you see on the camera aren't 
all there then the camera's doing something weird. If they are, then the 
file browser you were looking at the with before is doing something weird.

I assume the camera will show you the file name as well as the photo. 
You need to know specific file names to look for, as it will make this 
easier.

If it's the camera (it would help here if you said *which* model it is) 
the only thing i can think of is that it's got some internal memory as 
well as a memory card (some point and shoot cameras do) and that all 
you're seeing is what's on the card (or what's in the internal memory).

If that's the case, you may have to consult the camera's manual to find 
out what's going on.
