Same thing if you plug in any 2-button USB mouse. I use a generic optical mouse with two buttons & scroll wheel when I want to plug it in. Drivers are all resident in the OS to support PC-like functionality.

I use iPhoto a lot, and find it fairly useful, especially the built in facial recognition in the new version. What iPhoto does for me is store photos and delete the originals from the camera's memory. It's basically two clicks. I do commercial photo sessions a couple times a month on average, and I appreciate iPhoto's lightbox features.

When I started using iPhoto, the PC alternatives still required you to have a camera-specific driver in place to deal with file transfers. All seemed to be built in to OSX. Iphoto was also able to support RAW format before the alternatives. If I were starting out now, I'm not sure Mac/iPhoto is the best solution for managing photography. My hard core photo bug friends prefer Aperture.
