My new Sony camera came with a mini-CD driver of some kind. I guess it should install in my MacBook. I know I'm not supposed to put a mini-CD in the standard CD slot. So how the h&^%$ do I get this info into my Mac. Yes, I know I am incredibly ignorant, you don't need to tell me that, I'm 61 and just barely keeping up with this tech stuff.

Probably the easiest way to do it would be just to see if the camera has a mini or micro USB port on it (most do), and then just connect it to your Mac via USB.
edit: Lateralus, since the physically smaller mini-CDs are a hardware problem, not a software one, I don't see how downloading drivers is going to help anything.

Another option is to buy a USB tray-load CD/DVD drive.

Read the thread again, and your response, after a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast. 
Sarah: Either check to see whether the software on the CD is available for download instead, or, if the camera just works without installing anything (and it should), just forget about it entirely.

Ah — I thought she was saying that the camera was saving her pictures onto a mini-CD or something, and she wanted to get them into her Mac.
Sony is, after all, just the company that would do something like that. I believe they sell camcorders that write directly onto DVD-R, and I still remember those Mavica cameras that used floppy disks for storage back in the 90s.
