The USB mass storage devices show up as SCSI drives, not IDE drives. (The data on the camera is probably /dev/sda1.) In 10.1, it should show up mounted on /mnt/removable or /mnt/camera, depending on how it is detected. In 2005LE, the exact mount point depends on more rules. If there is a volume label, then that will be used to create a mount point. If that fails, it then tries the device name. If all else fails, it will fall back on /dev/removable.
If you have more then one USB storage device, or "real" SCSI drives, then the device may be a different device letter. Also, if you have more then one device that would be mounted as /dev/removable, the second becomes /dev/removable2, the third /dev/removable3, etc...
