When I'm done downloading photos, I just turn off the camera. Never had any problems. Mine doesn't show up on the desktop, just in iPhoto.

For external drives, you definitely want to do as you mentioned.

After you eject a device, wait for the light(s) to stop before you pull the plug. If there are no lights, wait a good ten seconds.

Eject it from iPhoto, then eject it from the desktop.
