Create a new file in /etc/udev/rules.d (the name is not important,
but the first part is a priority, I usually use 51 or so).

Put something like:

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="XxxX", ATTRS{idProduct} =="YyyY",MODE="0666"

where the XxxX and YyyY are the vendor and product of your camera,
which you can see by using the lsusb command.

The change will have effect on next camera replug.

(this is how I do it on F14; hoping F16 has not changed everything)
