Please post the output of this command:

First see if the computer at least recognizes that the camera is plugged into the usb port:
Code:lsusb

I'm using 8.10. I plugged in the cord to the USB port and plugged in the camera. On my computer I had a while ago, still with Ubuntu on it, that's all I had to do to mount it.
Do you have a card reader? If yes: you could remove the card from the camera and insert it into your Ubuntu system as if it were a floppy disk. That should work.
Also: I am not familiar with your type and brand of camera ... but with the HP cameras that I have it is possible to go into their "Settings" menus and there one can then define how they should be seen by PC's ... either as "Camera" or as "USB Mass Storage". At least on one of my cameras the "Camera" mode doesn't work, so I set it to "USB Mass Storage". Now when I connect it to my Ubuntu system my camera is seen as "Disk Drive" ... the end result is the same: I get to copy my pictures off the camera.
Maybe you could check if your camera has a similar feature?

on your setup menu how do you have this set?
# Interface
* USB (PTP, Mass Storage)
* Video mode (NTSC, PAL)
Hopefully USB mass storage.
# Auto transfer (on/off) - whether photos are automatically transferred to your PC by default .

yeah, I have it as Mass Storage, I don't get why it is saying PTP then when I plug it in?
