    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 from the 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) ?

    Modern cameras and mobiles behave like storage devices when connected to the computer, so don't need drivers or software to function.

    Where as Printer, Scanners, Web Cameras etc aren't storage devices so need there own drivers to function.
