digital photography vs. digital audio

Are there any meaningful parallels that can be drawn between digital
photography and digital audio?
Gain vs. noise. To achieve a fast ASA rating CCD devices
simply turn up the gain to get a brighter photo. Noise
becomes quite visible in just about every pro-sumer camera
after about ASA200.
To get more signal from a mic when the sound is quiet (dim)
one must amplify both the signal and the inherent noise.
