trying to mount my camera [SOLVED]

I have just reinstalled Gentoo and plugged in my Canon digital camera.
I check dmesg to see which /dev/sd* to mount....but there is something strange going on...

This is the last part of dmesg:

I believe Canon cameras do not mount as visible disks, but instead use a different protocol for transferring images from the camera. If you are a KDE user, you could emerge digikam which will pull in all the required dependencies to access your camera (there is a large list of Canon cameras when you add a new camera in digikam).

I'm not sure on what is available for Gnome or other DEs or command line for that matter, but I think you can use 'gphoto' to access the camera (it's pulled as a dependecy of digikam if I remember correctly).

I'm not an expert on these matters, but I hope this helps.

ah, of course...I usually take out the CF card and mount that one....because the camera only has USB 1.1 and not 2.0.
It may very well be that it just can't be mounted
