Contact a camera store.  Ask what media that make and model camera uses and
if any specialized accessories are necessary to transfer its pictures to
computer.

A card reader can handle most of the better ones and some, like my FD95
Sony, just uses floppy disks.  Take it out of the camera and put it into the
A drive.  What could be simpler?  The Nikon CP5000 uses a small rectangular
block that slips into the end of the camera and is removed by opening a
hinged cover.  Most modern readers can handle type I or II media chips so if
it's one of those you get software with it, too, and may not need whatever
came with the camera.

> Don't all digital cameras come with some sort of software?

I'm not using the software Nikon sent, and none came with the Sony.  The
camera in question for you could fit many patterns so start by finding out
what their suggested method is and you can pretty well take it from there.
It's a lot easier than you think.
