I've seen these branded as Nisis.
I would guess that perhaps the camera uses some kind of wierd file system, that fact that sda gets assigned to it would lead us to believe that it does support the USB mass storage controller, but based on what you said about trying different mounts and the errors above it looks like the filesystem is unrecognised.
Notice how the kernel thinks the disk is 6MB when if fact the built in ram on your camera is 16MB, looks like the sector count is screwed up.
There are a few things you could try here.
Look at how the camera behaves when plugged into a win2000/XP box, does it mount up as a removeable drive without any third party drivers ? If not then it either has a strange filesystem or it is not a standard usb mass storage device.
What happens if you plug in a standard CF card, can you mount that through the camera ?
3rd (potentially dangerous) option....what does fsck make of sda ?....personally I would think very carefully before trying that though, if it is an odd filesystem there is a chance that fsck could break it.
