Depends on what you need to do. A scanner copies an image into a computer and a camera takes a picture of something. Many all in one printers have scanners built in, some are as cheap as $50 on sale.

The limitations of a camera and scanner are rather basic, first I'm going to be talking about the camera, which is a small portable device, which is used to take images and manipulate them which the software the camera comes with. Finally the scanner is a large device, which is portable but rarely taken from place to place because of the size of the scanner, this is used to transfer objects which you can hold into the computer e.g. documents, images etc.

An optical scanner can read text or illustrations printed on paper and translate the information into a form the computer can use. A digital camera encodes digital images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction.

Take a photo of it with a digital camera, load it onto your computer and work from there.

If your buying a disposable camera that can download photos to your computer your wasting your money. You should just buy a digital camera for twenty dollars. If you cant do this, if you have a printer with a scanner use that to upload the photos on to your computer. Hope this helps!
