Try hwbrowser. You will need root password. Execute it from the
terminal or from the main menu: Apps -> System tools -> Hardware browser
You could use lspci as root too.

I think just connecting the camera to the USB port should do the trick.
It will be treated as a storage device (I guess) so you can copy the
files to your hard disk with nautilus.
If you plug your camera and nothing happens you can
check /var/log/messages to check kernel events.
Before connecting do this as root in a terminal window:
# tail -f /var/log/messages
plug your camera in and post the kernel events to the list.

Thanks William. hwbrowser gives only the following:
Selected Device:
Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB
Manufacturer: Unknown
Driver: uhci-hcd
With no mention to the USB version. If I try connecting the camera
anyway, could I break anything?
