I am surprise you wouldn't have it automatically launched, especially 
since Canon is well supported. Are you connected via USB? Did you get 
prompted by iPhoto to automamtically launch when a connection is 
detected.

My experience with iPhoto started with an old HP digital camera which 
only connected through a serial connection. Prior to my first Mac I 
stopped using the serial port on a Windows machine because it took so 
long to download photos. I used a flash card reader. When I got my iBook 
I took the flash card reader and plugged it in. When I put the card into 
the reader iPhoto would launch. Later when I got a Sony Cybershot for my 
birthday I plugged it directly in and iPhoto prompted me for the option 
to "Automatically" launch when the camera was connected. I have not seen 
a settings within iPhoto to activate or deactivate this feature.

If you can provide more information that might help.
