Greetings all;
The camera is a Canon pssx429is(bk)
Otherwise called a PowerShot SX420IS
plugged a match usb cable into it, but while camera cts differently with
usb power applied, there is zilch logged, either in syslog or dmesg
indicating a connection is available.
Canon has only drivers using nfc, or wifi, and only for the last 4
versions of (spit) winders.
newer cameras have multiple usb operation modes (MTP, PTP etc.). Are you
sure you read the documentation around this? Also on my simple camera I
have one port for charging and one for data transfer. The second is not a
different USB cable.
according https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2367467 transfer is
possible. Could be your kernel is too old?
Did you read this

and make sure you have the drivers?
