Following the HOWTO's I try to mount my digital USB camera in the following way:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /camera
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
May I ask what type of media your digital camera is using, and is it removable? I ask this because I has trouble mounting my Sony CyberShotU (DSC-U10, memory stick media) and couldn't get it to work with gtkam or the gphoto command line utility. Searching through the archives for similar problems regarding cameras, someone suggested a flash card reader.
I settled on a Atech Flash 9-in1 USB 2.0 flash card reader from newegg. Worked flawlessly on my Debian unstable machine. It can be mounted in a 3.5" bay or used as external device via the included USB cables. Link: http://www.atechflash.com/product_Pro9.htm Also has a pass though for a firewire port. Output during boot up:

Downloading pictures via the memory stick is super fast if your using USB 2.0. 36 bucks: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-176-815&depa=0 Plus i can download pictures from firends media too.
Good Luck
