Um, no.  That may be the way *you* are doing it, but it's not the only 
way Apple provides.

(a) you can have any of several apps automatically start up when you 
plug in the camera.  iphoto is the likely default, but you could also 
have it be Image Capture.  So step (2) is unnecessary

(b) if you don't want to use iPhoto, don't.  ImageCapture will download 
to any folder you like.  Or send them to some app you like.  So there's 
no need for separate steps (3) or (4).

It's the same two steps, but with a nicer interface than dragging and 
dropping files.

And it's already on your computer.

They have.  It's been around for a long time.  You already have it.  
Image Capture has been around since at least 10.4 (probably longer, but 
I don't remember off the top of my head), was totally updated in 10.6, 
and not only speaks to your camera, but also to your scanner and lots 
of other devices.  It's what I use with my AIO networked print/scan/fax.

(The current version with ML is 6.2 (451), and the copyright says 
2000-2012, so maybe it was around with the very first OSX - predating 
even iPhoto by a couple of years)
