First off, what version of FC are you using?,
do you have gphoto or gphoto2 installed?
do you have gThumb installed?
You can mount the thing manually, your almost there...

Well, I was pretty hopeful about the noauto tip. I edited my fstab and set it to auto instead, like you said. Then I rebooted, plugged in the camera, and what happened... the fstab is back to the old version with noauto. Maybe it stores these old settings somewhere? I removed the old line and put in the new one, but it's back to how it was before. In any case, the camera did not automount when I plugged it in.
