What kind of camera is this? Some can be used via USB mass storage support,
other's can only be accessed via gphoto2.

USB mass storage devices are treated just like SCSI devices, no emulation
needed.

This is unrelated to USB mass storage. It's SCSI emulation for IDE devices
(mostly CD writers).

Udev has nothing to to with SCSI emulation. SCSI emulation happens in the
kernel, udev runs in userland. However, if you _want_ your SCSI device to
have a different name than sda1 for example, you have to write a udev rule.

Yes. Again unrelated to SCSI emulation. The SCSI subsystem will print out a
line for each new SCSI device, emulated or real.
