On my laptop I use autofs to do this:
I added the following to /etc/auto.misc

camera          -fstype=auto            :/dev/sda1

If you have other SCSI devices your camera will probably not be sda1, just
check dmesg.

After that you just cd into /misc/camera/dcim/100_fuji to see the
pictures. It is probably a good idea to load usb-storage kernel module
before also.

And with the default behaviour the camera will be unmounted 60s after you
leave the catalog. You can decrese the time (in /etc/auto.master).
