In dealing with digital cameras, I've always found it easier to try and
mount them as a USB drive (via umass / da), which a lot of them
support. If you hook up the camera, is there any mention of a umass
device in dmesg? If so you can just mount it as a harddisk.

Another option is a memory card reader that you can mount as a drive.
