 * Vector images scale without file size increase / decrease


 * Bitmap images scale resulting in file size increase / decrease
 * Vector images scale without distortion to the image
 * Bitmap images distort (pixellate) when scaling
 * Bitmaps are better for photo editing
 * Bitmaps require less processing power to display
