Does this camera "mount" under other distributions?

You might find that the device doesn't support access via USB
mass-storage (or if it does that for some reason it isn't working).

The USB ID looks like a Nikon Coolpix L120 - I found some lsusb output
for that device that seems to suggest that it only implements the
Imaging interface class (so it will use Picture Transfer Protocol via
e.g. gphoto or shotwell rather than fs access via USB mass-storage).

Try the device with one of those programs and if that doesn't work
post the output of lsusb -vs <bus>:<dev>, e.g.:

  $ lsusb
  Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
  Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching
  Hub
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate
  Matching Hub
  Bus 001 Device 022: ID 17ef:480f Lenovo Integrated Webcam [R5U877]
  Bus 001 Device 034: ID 0a5c:217f Broadcom Corp. Bluetooth Controller
This one:
  Bus 002 Device 045: ID 0781:556c SanDisk Corp.
      ^^^        ^^^

  $ lsusb -vs 002:045 | grep bInt
  Couldn't open device, some information will be missing
        bInterfaceNumber        0
        bInterfaceClass         8 Mass Storage
        bInterfaceSubClass      6 SCSI
        bInterfaceProtocol     80 Bulk (Zip)
          bInterval               0
          bInterval               1

This is for a SanDisk USB flash key (so it definitely does have
mass-storage support ;).

The output I found for the L120 is here:
