Sometimes it's sdb1, or sdc1, I can't work out why. Try it several times on different occasions, 'cos sometimes you will get a spurious 'invalid block device' response. Subject for another question.
Once the camera is mounted, you can view, move, copy and delete files at will.
My worry is that they will reset after a reboot, and start counting from sda1 ( well sdb1 in this case as there's a scsi disk in there). I hope not!
I built a disk backup where it installed/uninstalled the required modules for usb around it, which would easily customise. It would make it a more manual process, but here it is ( 2.6.x kernel, debian, usb 2.0 )...
