I would do this:

ls /dev | grep ^da

...before and after plugging in the camera, and see what's changed.

If you see that (for example) /dev/da0 has appeared, try mounting it. 
Bear in mind that it may well be msdosfs. If that fails, you may need to 
use gphoto or some such. Personally I use gtkam. Of course it could also 
be that your camera's SD card is on the way out.

Speaking of which, you could also try removing the SD (or whatever it 
is) card from the camera and mounting via a USB card reader.

HTH.
