here's some of my dmesg (in red my digital cam):

anyone here who has a clou? would appreciate it, thanks.
'scsi1' is the SCSI channel that your camera is connected to, not the device. The device is likely to be something like 'sda1', 'sdb1' or something like that, depending on your setup. You need to mount the device, not the channel. So, you would be looking to:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
You use 'vfat' if your camera uses Windows-type formatting, or you could use 'auto' and let the kernel decide what to do, depending on what it finds. As I said before, 'sda1' might need to be something different, depending on your setup, including other hardware - especially SCSI - installed on your system. You need to have created '/mnt/camera' (you could use any name here you like) beforehand and given it correct permissions, or else only root will be able to access the camera.
With your camera plugged in, you should have a listing under /dev for sda, sdb, sda1 and sdb1. Given that your camera is on scsi channel 1, it should show up as scsi device sdb, and it should point to scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disk and its filesystem - sdb1 - should show up as scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/part1. Whatever, look for the device letter that shows up as host1 and ends with 'disk' and 'part1'. By that reasoning, you would be using 'sdb1' in the above mount command.
yeah, I did create /mnt/camera folder and gave it the right permission.
THANKS SO FAR.
as the problem seems to be is to find out on which device my camera is plugged in. I'm currently working on the suggestion of geoff_f , but I don't get wiser with the /dev folder, I don't see which device is the one for my camera.
still, I tried to mount several scsi devices - and get every time the message :
"mount: /dev/sda1 ist kein gültiges blockorientiertes Gerät" (sorry, can't translate that properly )
I have two DVD/CDRW drives (the CDRW drive is attached to scd0 and and the DVD drive to hdd (had to change that in order to use xine)
"mount: /dev/sda1 ist kein gültiges blockorientiertes Gerät"
I'm no linguist, but this is probably:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device
And, sorry, I can't help you there either, as this 'not a valid block device' message has stumped me in other threads. The only thing that may be a factor is kernel version. I'm using 2.4.21-0.13mdk, which is something like a pre-release of 2.4.21. Maybe a kernel upgrade could help. It would be good if someone could shed some light on this 'not a valid block device' problem that a lot of people are having with their digital cameras.

I believe that this is a generic mount error message that can result from a number of situations, so it's not very helpful in diagnosing a specific problem.
I'm not sure how to determine the SCSI device from the information in /proc/scsi/scsi -- but did you try mounting it as 'sdb1' instead? (or 'sdc1', etc...)
Why not use a recent release of GTKam/GPhoto2 to access your camera? I think that'll mount it for you too, because I remember it put a link to browse the files on my desktop when using KDE.
Which kernel are you using? I have a similar problem and I saw a post which said that newer kernels (2.4.20 I think) will have increased usb digital camera support.
Have you tried your manufacturer's website for drivers/assistance?
