it's probably sdc1.

you can usually find the correct one by typing "/dev/sd" then hitting 
the tab button - a list of existing nodes will be shown.

your dmesg dump showed a load of errors - hopefully the camera isn't 
faulty... You may need to use one of those multi-headed USB cables (two 
ends on the Laptop side to give the USB device (your camera) more power).

someone mentioned that I didn't explicitly mention the fs format in the 
mount command - usually it is not required when mounting something as 
widely known as vfat.
