Canon PowerShot software installation

I'm with you, I never want to install the bloated software and you don't
need to. You also don't need to use a card reader. Just get a SD card
that has USB plus. They work great, you don't need to carry a card
reader, and they run without drivers.

having a problem, I hope someone can help me.

The camera is a Canon PowerShot A590 IS. The instructions are a bit
unclear. My grandparents and I would like to use this camera without
having to install the software. Since we all have Windows XP do we
need to install the software?

We see no point in installing the useless software that comes with
this camera. Ideally, we'd just like to install only the necessary
drivers and be done with it. We'd like to use this camera the way we
used our previous cameras, which was basically like a flash drive. We
would just connect the camera to the USB port and then copy or move
the pictures to a folder on our computer. Very simple. I don't know
why some of these camera companies have to make everything so
unnecessarily complicated with these newer cameras.
