Actually, this was the first thing I tried.  I can not convince the
camera to mount however.

All I get from dmesg is:

usb 4-2: USB disconnect, address 5
usb 4-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 6


I tried your suggestions in my fstab and all I get is:

mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist
 or 
mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist

depending on which /dev/sda* I use in fstab.

I thought this would work, in theory.  Practise has proven me wrong.
