USB mass storage device at /dev/sda1 isn't mountable: "no medium found"

HAL recognizes my digital camera (I see good stuff in
/var/log/messages when it's plugged in), but I'm unable to mount it,
when I try "mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/test', I get "no medium
found". Anyone have a minute to help?

Here's what I see in /var/log/messages:

And when I try to mount it:

# mkdir /mnt/test
# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/test
mount: No medium found

I apologize in advance if this isn't the correct forum to ask for help
(suggestions welcome). Thank you,
