Like the user on the mailing list said:

There is definately a bug in the "Mass Storage Camera" Type as "Mounted Camera" also works for me.

To fix it you could do this:
Disable the "Mass Storage Camera" Type and just allow the "Mounted Camera" type ( which is "Directory Browse"). An additional bad thing is, that the not-so-good working type is the auto-detected one. So delete it from the list, and select the other one (Mounted Camera) when the "Mass Storge Camera" is autodetected.

SVN commit 525916 by cgilles:

digikam from trunk : Polishing and improving camera setup dialog. Add Tips on the bottom about how to set USB mass Storage camera. Add web Link to fresh cameras list supported by GPhoto2.

There is no camera drivers in digiKam. libgphoto 2.2 have fixed some PTP driver problems. Look at #121691

The new camera setup dialog available with 0.9.0 release is enough to help digiKam user with camera settings. I want let's a stnadard implementation about digiKam and gphoto2 interface. disable PTP drivers and remplace it by Mounted Camera mode can be a contraint with some old cameras.

I close this file now.
