    To use a Sony digital camera with my Debian laptop, all I had to do was
    to include this line in /etc/udev/udev.rules:

       BUS="scsi", SYSFS_vendor="Sony ", NAME="camera"

    This has the effect that when hotplug detects insertion of the camera's
    connector into a USB port, udev creates the device node /dev/camera.

    In /etc/fstab I have a line:

       /dev/camera /mnt/camera vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0

    so that when the camera is plugged in, I can:

       mount /mnt/camera

    and then view the .jpegs on the camera's file-system or copy them over
    to the hard disk or whatever.

    Aa far as I know, that is all that is required, and this simple setup
    works very well for me,

    Jim
