I probably added the camera after you last updated your profile.  Go to profile in the blue menu at the top of the page then click on Forum Profile Information.  You will probably find a few new things listed there you can add to your profile.  One of them will tell you to check a box if you have an album.  That will add the camera to your profile.

  Thanks, Jamie!
