This is the current situation with KDE4 Solid support:

1) Detecting USB mass storage devices and card readers is implemented
2) Actually Kevin Ottens had the same suggestion as this bug report: Make camera \
detection fully dynamic. After some discussion, and me fighting with the gphoto2 API, \
there is now a method added in Solid which will allow us to autodetect gphoto2 \
cameras and call use them with gphoto2. (Due to inconsistencies in the gphoto2 API, \
this will not be perfect, but there is no way to distinguish two generic PTP cameras \
plugged in at the same time with gphoto2) This support waits to be implemented (by \
me) 3) At least for serial port cameras, the permanent "Add camera manually" will \
stay. We need to find a way to store last-access information for all other cameras. \
4) According to Kevin, the autostarting of apps on plugging of new hardware will be \
similar to the KDE3 way, but is not ready yet.
