DigiKam would "see" the camera, giving the impression that it is
supported but when I tried to import, nothing happened.

I got it to work now.

When I turn the camera on, I get the dialog asking which application to
open. The problem was that the camera was getting mounted even if I
selected "Do nothing". I found that if I selected "Start digiKam", that
it didn't start so what I ended up doing is select "Do nothing",
unmount the camera, start digiKam manually, then when I go to import,
digiKam is happy.
