You won't need to manually load the usb-storage module if your usb 
hotplug system is set up to detect the appearance of mass-storage 
devices on the USB bus.  You might want to check 'lsmod' to see if the 
module isn't already loaded, and possibly the output of 'dmesg' to see 
what the kernel did when you plugged in the camera into USB.  Also, you 
might want to make sure it is even showing up on the USB bus by running 
'usbview' (an X application) which should show you every device on your 
USB bus.

(I hate calling it the USB bus, it's redundant, but it sounds awkward 
otherwise.)
