I Googled for some time and looked in the list archives, etc., but could find nothing relevant on installing my digital camera under Debian, so I got bored and tried typing:
apt-get install hotplug apt-get install usbutils mkdir /camera mount /dev/sda1 /camera
At which point, it worked! I suppose I should mention I am using a stock "Linux debian 2.4.22-1-686" kernel, your mileage may vary with older kernels.
Which was all reasonably nice and straightforward, so I thought it was a shame I could find any instructions that suggested it. It was even easier under Mandrake, I just stuck it in and it appeared on the desktop; I guess it would be kinda nice if Debian did that, too.
Which camera are you talking about?
I have accessed two cameras in Debian: the Canon A300 successfully (using gphoto and gtkam), and Sony TRV25 minidv camcorder as a USB storage device.
With the second, I have a line in my /etc/fstab with which I just plug in the camera and type:
$> mount /sony-minidv
and that is it.
Here is what I have in /etc/fstab: /dev/sda1 /sony-minidv vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
