Yep, if the physical device plugged in is a camera, so the icon to
access it should look like a camera. This should also be true for non
usb-storage cameras by e.g. using a suitable gnome-vfs module.

If the physical device plugged in is a card reader, the icon to access
the memory card it should look like the memory card (e.g. compact flash
logo etc.).

Now the fact that it has the DCIM tree should mean that the icon could
have an photo emblem in Nautilus, ie.when it got the capability
content.photos. If it contains music it should have emblem for that etc.
