Interesting... I only see the one USB event in that output.  Is your output 
from dmesg always that small?

(Sorry about just spewing about that earlier, by the way. I am glad that you 
found out where to look for it, though.)

The only other place I can think of that might have additional information 
would be the kernel log file.  That would be much too large to post here, 
though -- check into that and look for USB events when you plug the camera 
in/unplug it.

The best thing to do would be to watch it by using "tail" on it:

 $ tail -f /var/log/kern.log

(This is assuming that your system calls the kernel log "kern.log" -- some 
systems have it as kernel.log, and weirder ones have it in even weirder 
places.)

Start that tail -f, and then watch what happens as you plug in the camera 
and then unplug it, see what the resulting output is.  Maybe, that will 
provide some additional clue.
