i don't have a camera like that, so i can't test it... but in the linux kernel 
source tree, there is a file called unusual_devs.h which contains all unusual 
usb devices (du'uh) <srctree>/drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h

you can try adding your camera there, with options you want (like force it to 
be recognised as a mass storage device... (i needed this to get a corrupted 
usb stick to work, it thought it was a cd writer..., thanx M$)

if not, try the usb.handmap file... (i haven't managed to figure this one out, 
but it should be possible)

good luck!
