This may be a silly question, but it may help me and hopefully some other people who aren't as up on scanning and digital photography as others...
What are the main differences between scanning and digital photography? During the lecture, both were referred to as a "picture" or "snapshot" of something. I understand that a scan is usually a copy of an existing picture or document, whereas a digital picture can be much more (scenery, portraits, etc). Are there more differences? Does one contain more information? Can one be more easily manipulated than the other?

I have always been into digital photography and I find it less time consuming than scanning to upload my pictures onto my computer. Also, I feel like most consumers can get better quality for the money with a digital camera than with a scanner. But as you mentioned, I do think scanners are great for digitizing documents as it's rather difficult sometimes to take digital pictures of book!
