What you may be looking for is a hotplug script which, when your particular 
device is plugged in, changes the ownership on /proc/bus/usb/XYZ/ABC to allow 
access to the console user, or a "usb" group ID. (If you change ownership 
on /proc/bus/usb inodes, the changes are not saved after you unplug the 
device.)

At one point or another, either gphoto or gphoto2 had such a script (installed 
in /etc/hotplug/usb). Email me if you have trouble finding more info.
