Why is it that one can immediately start transferring data from a Camera or Mobile onto a P.C. whereas ,as for a Printer , Scanner or Web Cam,one would have to first install the Program that comes in the CD or DVD that came along with the product onto the P.C. before one can transfer data from the Product onto the P.C. (or Vice-versa) ?

Camerias and mobile devices can bee seen as external storage devices and the OS has built in supoport drivers for those items., where printers, cameras, etc are specialized devices and the OS may not have the built in driver for that device.
