Nope, try /dev/dsa and sda1, gives either:

[root@stimpy dev]# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

[root@stimpy dev]# mount /dev/sda
/mnt/camera                                                                                                                               /dev/sda: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

or with file system types:

[root@stimpy dev]# mount -t autofs /dev/sda /mnt/camera
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
       or too many mounted file systems
[root@stimpy dev]# mount -t msdos /dev/sda
/mnt/camera                                                                                                                      mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
       or too many mounted file systems


I've done, some more reading, and still not managed to mount it yet
