A question a lot of us have asked is "what is the difference between using a digital camera versus a scanner to digitize our documents?" In his article (published just yesterday) at FamilySearch's TechTips, James Tanner has some excellent insights on the topic. Click here for the article.
We also have three upcoming webinars (all free) on the topic:

I personally like to use the camera in my phone for document copying – no need to carry any additional equipment. And, as a bonus, with just a few clicks I can send the image directly to my Evernote account for easy access from any web-connected device.
