After doing some more reading, I seem to have resolved the issue, for now, by these steps:
1. unplugged the camera
2. sudo thunar, navigated to /mnt/, which contained folder with the name of the device (even though it is unplugged, not sure why)
3. changed permissions for that folder for each user to be able to read/write
so now any user can mount it, it seems, and it does not ask for a password
i am still not sure if that is the way to fix it - this seems to fix it for that particular device only
hopefully they don't buy a new camera ...
