According to the file /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs on my 7-STABLE
system, this is a C-700 camera, which should be recognized.

And it does not seem to be recognized properly.

OK, so it goes wrong before the usb subsystem hands the camera off as a
da device. 

This is uhub0, so it's recognized as a USB 1.0 device. Is it USB 2.0 capable

From the transfer rate I infer that this is a USB 2.0 device. It should
be connected to uhub1.

Is the mp3 player a usb 1.0 device as well? In that case the trouble is
probably with the ohci driver, since the USB 2.0 devices seem to work well.

On 7.x you should have /boot/kernel/kernel.symbols, which is the
debugging kernel (/boot/kernel/kernel is the regular, stripped, kernel).

There should be a space between "no" and &&.
