No.

Nautilus replaced gnome-fm, but what Ettore is suggesting is that for
the concrete task of *browsing pictures in a camera* it might be worth
having a special Nautilus view (using Bonobo) to display it.

Nautilus still uses the gnome-vfs for its file access, and you could
use nautilus with a gnome-vfs file system for cameras without the
special bonobo-viewer for cameras.
