As a result of what you have done, you should see the contents of your camera 
on /etc/sda1 (unless you already have scsi devices when it may be something 
different.

mount -t msdos /dev/sda1 /camera

My setup is slightly different, I have a smartmedia card reader which I have 
plugged the smartmedia card from my camera in to it - but I believe that many 
camera models do the same.

In my case the jpeg images are stored in a subdirectory on this device 
dcim/100olymp - I think most cameras should use dcim followed by some other 
directory.
