I'm not sure what USB methods your particular camera uses, but mine (an
Olympus Camedia) uses one of the popular smart cards for storage --
which is basically a usb-storage device, which in turn utilizes the SCSI
subsystem.

What all this amounts to is that I have the following entry in my
/etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1       /mnt/camera     vfat    user,rw,noauto,unhide   1 0

And then all I have to do is 'mount /mnt/camera' to be able to access
it.

Give it a try and see if that might work.
