If you're looking for *any* way to access the camera, as opposed to
mounting it directly, try the graphics/gphoto2 port. It does command
line (up|down)loading, includes a shell mode, and works fine with my
PowerShot.

I don't know if ugen can be used to mount the camera directly, since
it's a generic USB device. Without specific drivers I think you need
more than the mount command, but I'm no expert.
