I've the Sony DSC-F707, so I suppose much of it is the same.  Here's
what I did ...

1.  As root, lsmod to see what mods are installed.  You should look for:

        usb-storage
        usbcore
        scsi_mod
        sd_mod
        usb-uhci
        input
        sr_mod

You probably don't need all of these, but that's what I've got in mine
for my system, which does have SCSI HD's.  

2.  Edit /etc/fstab by making the entry:

        /dev/sdc1   /home/userMe/mnt/sony   vfat  noauto,user 0 0

3.  Plug in the camera via the USB

4.  Mount the disk with:

        mount  /dev/sdc1   /home/userMe/mnt/sony -t vfat

5.  Diagnose by checking:

        /var/log/messages
        /var/log/syslog
        /proc/bus/usb      // this will show you what is being seen
        /proc/scsi         // see what's here too

That's all it took for me to get it working.

HTH.

Kevin
