You should be able to mount it as you would a usb hard drive, these are 
reffered to as USB mass storage. This is what I get when I connect my 
panasonic digicam

da0: <MATSHITA DMC-LC20 > Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device 
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 29MB (60801 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 29C)
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ(6)/WRITE(6) not supported, increasing 
minimum_cmd_size to 10.

now if I look at my /dev directory I can see

da0                
da0s1

 Of course theres a lot more in my /dev/ directory but this is the only part 
thatt is relevant.
I do this logged in as root, however it should be possible to do this whilst 
logged in as user by putting an entry in /etc/fstab

# mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
# cd /mnt
# ls

There you go, that is my digital camera sd card contents

After looking in 

http://www.teaser.fr/~hfiguiere/linux/digicam.html

it appears that your digital camera also uses the USB mass storage protocal, 
Therefore your procedure shouild be very similar to mine.

Hope this helps
