Well, digikam shouldn't crash in the first place.
Still, it seems not unlikely, that this is  already
a problem of accessing the camera, for which gphoto is used.

Could you try the following commands and report their output:
a) connect camera, what is the output of dmesg
   (only the camera related part)
b) gphoto2 -v
c) gphoto2 --list ports
d) gphoto2 --auto-detect -L
e) gphoto2 --abilities
f) gphoto2 --list-folders
and post the output here.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Arnd
