But this should not be necessary: a camera shows up in USB with a different device type than a disk drive. Or are you saying there is a bug in Anroid that it fails to check this, and treats a connected USB device as a disk drive no matter what? I have certainly seen no such bug in Android 2.2 running on a phone.
Also, see Chris Paget's blog on how to connect a USB keyboard to an Android Motorola Droid at http://www.tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124. That won't solve the problem, but it will give the OP a better idea of the space he has to work in.
