Yes, the camera is PTP. I have the Canon PowerShot S3 IS myself
and went the following way: I remove the SD card from the camera
and use the internal reader of my machine. :-)

Instead of using Gtkam, a GUI application, you will be happy being
able to use a non-interactive way, provided by gphoto2. You can
even automate copying with (or without) deleting the photos.
The gphoto2 program also has a good manpage.

Oh, and check if the camera provides a menu entry to select which
"personality" it will come up with when connected to USB. Some
cameras have the ability to be either a PTP compatible (use
gphoto2 and gtkam) or DA compatible (use mount_msdosfs).
