I have this behaviour too. In Hardy, Nautilus did not mount the PTP
device so gThumb could read the camera correctly. In Intrepid, Nautilus
does mount the PTP device, so both gThumb and f-spot cannot access the
camera.

This is also documented in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/208467

My work-around is:

1. in File Management Preferences (Nautilus > Edit > Preferences > Media
> Photos), select gThumb photo manager

2. in Removable Drives and Media Preferences (System > Preferences >
Removable Drives and Media > Cameras > Digital Camera), uncheck the
Import digital photographs when connected.

Then, when you plug in a camera, gThumb pops up. On the Desktop, you can
unmount the camera device. Then in gThumb, select File > Import photos,
and it works properly.

I have no idea who is reponsible for mounting the PTP camera (udev?
hal?, nautilus?), but there is no obvious way to change it.
