I keep getting the message 'Camera missing' when I unplug my camera or SD card when I'm trying to import images on to FCP. What am I doing wrong?
Has the material finished being imported? Are you unmounting the device before you disconnect it?

Tom's second suggestion is the most likely reason.
You must never simply unplug or remove a camera or card.
You have to unmount it first.
You do this by ctrl-clicking (or right-clicking) on the item's icon on the desktop and selecting "Eject xxx".
You should then be able to disconnect the device.
However, you may get a message saying that FCP X is still using it.
In this case either leave the device connected or shutdown FCP X and then repeat the eject procedure.
When ejected/unmounted correctly, the item's icon will disappear from the desktop.
