I had to do some mucking around with my usb.usermap (I think that's what it was called) to allow me to mount the camera as a regular user rather than as root. I think I found a howto somewhere on the net at the time. I have a kodak dx4900 camera

2 alternatives, that may be determined by the camera (ie some go one way, some the other, some may do both)
older cameras had diverse interfaces, and tend to be supported by gphoto2, which is essentially a command line tool. you download the pics to the current dir by typing somethinng like
gphoto2 -P , and it downloads everything on the camera gphoto2 -T for the thumbnails etc.
more modern cams tend to use usb-storage, so the end up looking like a scsi device.
take a look at your logs as you plug it in and unplug it. try gphoto2 (it supports your camera) and/or modprobing usb-storage.
gphoto2 --list-cameras|grep -i sony|grep -i dsc "Sony DSC-F1" (EXPERIMENTAL) "Sony DSC-F55" "Sony DSC-F707V (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-P30 (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-P32 (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-P5 (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-P50 (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-S75 (PTP mode)" (TESTING) "Sony DSC-S85 (PTP mode)" (TESTING)
looks like you have to put the camera into PTP mode, whatever that is. consult ya manual!
