Essentially modern digicams are increasingly using PTP mode for camera access as opposed to storage mode. So you do not see it as mounted. PTP mode delivers faster I/O and complete control of the camera. For eg. the application can instruct the camera to take pictures, set modes exposures etc. The application Gtkam or Digikam access the raw camera USB device that is exposed via ugen (generic usb module) and interprets the datastream via a userland driver in the application. Same mechanism both in Linux and OpenSolaris. PTP mode on Gphoto2 seems to be still a bit quirky at present. You would need to read up on PTP specs and how Gphoto2 works underneath.
