You don't say which version of Fedora you are using. Under F10 i had
problems talking to my Canon 400D. I was using digikam, and the
problem was only there when I tried to delete photos from the camera.
The workaround was to install the F9 version of libgphoto2. I
submitted this bug for it.

Since installing F11 it all works again. Maybe your problem is related?
