you can't use PTP mode and usb-mass-storage at the same time, switch
modes in setup of camera

I have tried mounting in normal mode although I am not running
hotplug but the usb-storage module does not recognize the camera
so there is no '/dev/sdX' initialised to mount.
Maybe I should use the 2.6.12 kernel instead of 2.4.31 to get
this working.

The 2.6.x kernels have better support (except that 2.6.8 seems to have
some problems). Have you checked that the camera is capable of
mass-storage mode? A lot of digital cameras will do mass-storage OR PTP,
but not both.

Yes it should do mass storage and ptp, but you need to configure
that on the camera.
I am now using ptp I will try the mass storage after I have
upgraded to 2.6 in the future

If you do, then make a file in /etc/udev/rules.d called my.udev.rules
and put the following line in it: (all one line ignore word wrap)

BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="Sony DSC", KERNEL="sd*", NAME="%k",
SYMLINK="camera"

Now you can refer to it as /dev/camera instead of sd?? which is much
easier imho. And if you have other scsi bits it is much more logical :-)

I'v a Sony DSC-P72 and use it in normal mode to transfer / read photo's.
My fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/flash vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0
I use hotplug and this works with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.

Camera has correct mode and you called /sbin/rescan-scsi-bus?
Still no scsi device? 2.4.31 is working for me, you can test with my
own kernel (13.5M including all modules) from
http://www.baldar.de/pub/restore/modules-2.4.31.tgz
