How to determine which /dev/sd* for my digital camera

I took the cowards way out, and bought a Sony CD400 digital camera,
which burns the images to CDROM. When I need to upload photos, I just
take the cd out of the camera, put it in my PC's drive, and I'm off to
the races.

It works well. You can see some of my gem and jewelry photos at my
commercial website,

Some day, when I have all the hardware conflicts worked out on my laptop
and need something to do for aggravation, maybe I'll try to make G-Photo
work with my camera.
