I am also a member of camera group but I guess that is for the
libgphoto2 stuff (see /usr/share/doc/libgphoto2-2/README.Debian).

Now, if you were running Gnome, pmount and gnome-volume-manager would
really have helped, but since you are running KDE ...

... I guess you should give digikam a try. I have been able to use
digikam quite smoothly without any problems at all whenever I was in
KDE. If that doesn't work, let me know. I usually plug in the camera,
start digikam and let it detect a camera. If it can't, then I suggest it
to look for ptp (or usb) camera from it's detection menu and it works.
