"A lot" or "all"?  I'm not saying only one model could be problematic, just 
that it could vary by hardware.  

When I plug in a camera, the removable device manager plasmoid pops out of the 
panel and says "Devices recently plugged in:" and lists my camera.  Under the 
camera it'll say how many actions are available for it.  Click that, and a 
window comes up saying "Open with Digikam / Browser folders / Do Nothing"  I 
usually pick "browse folders" and it opens up Dolphin already at the camera's 
mountpoint.

Unfortunately, it doesn't mount until I click on either "browse folders" or 
"digikam" :-/ That means even though I'm going to access it through the CLI I 
still have to let it open up Dolphin or Digikam, so I agree it could be 
better.
