If you want a digicam, download the driver sources from creative to port over to the Amiga.  I've found the majority of the web cam designs use Creative's DigiCam drivers and they are even open source.  You might be able to find some easy to modify sources at sourceforge.  If I knew anything about drivers I'd be willing to give it a go but then my C knowledge is quite lacking.

I just bought two X Surfs to network my 2000/toaster
machine to my 4000T...leaving my 3000 without a
network card.  This with the Norway looks like a
candidate for my next ethernet card.

Cool.

Hi Tickly,
cameras with open documentation will be supported by Felix Schwarz if possible.
Anyhow, there is a standard at least for digital flash media, so if everything else fails, just use a supported flash card reader - you can use it for you digicam photos as well as for PC data exchange.

Scanners - well, no standard available.
