I agree with a previous poster, that udev and hal rules are the way to achieve 
this.  It's possible to get the system to read the identification info from 
the device and then mount it with the device name.  IIRC you can specify 
'camera' if you don't want it to say 'Olympus' or whatever.  Try a google 
search.
