I have a Nikon S9100 and Dolphin can't access the SD card when I plug 
the camera in neither. However, this camera does not function as a card 
reader when you plug it in. It is not a mass storage device like a usb 
stick.
Dolphin tries to access the camera using camera:/ and the device is 
shown as a "USB PTP Class Camera". However, I can't see its contents in 
Dolphin, it says "Loading folder" forever and never show the contents of 
the SD card.
However, if I remove the SD card from the camera and use a card reader, 
I can read it in the same USB port.
Probably it is the same with your camera, but I don't know why Dolphin 
can't access it directly.
I have other cameras that behave as a PTP device, but they allow me to 
configure them as mass storage/card reader, therefore I can read their 
cards when I connect them to the computer. The Nikon, however,  doesn't, 
so I always have to read its card using a card reader.
