My memory card reader is /dev/sdb1. Every time I've seen /dev/sda4 it was for my zip disks (I have several). If the Sony uses standard usb protocol, it should be recognized. The only suggestion I have is--have you tried a reboot with the camera plugged in? I don't have a camcorder, but my digital is mounted automatically under /mnt/memory_card (I may have created that directory originally, I can't remember) and as /dev/sdb1 in 9.1.
