At least you're not alone with this camera problem...
I never was able to get my USB camera to work correctly in mdk 10.1
(whereas there were absolutely no problems in earlier versions).
My first workaround was relly weird : I booted Knoppix, connected
the camera (mass storage), and uploaded the photos to my web-site.
Then removed Knoppix, booted 10.1 and ftp'ed them down to my PC.
Of course this is idiotic. Now I found out another way :
disconnect ALL usb-devices such as scanners, mp3 players, printers
etc.. Then grab the camera but don't take it into "upload mode".
Fire it up into "shoot" mode and then connect it to the usb port.
If you're lucky, an icon will pop up as mass-storage or harddisk,
ready to use.
After some research I found the usb problem on the bug report site
(anthill) but it is marked as "solved" or "fixed", which it
obviously is not. As far as I remember Anne had a similar problem
with a similar camera, maybe she's got another solution.
In the meantime, lets hope 10.2 gets it right.
