>Is there any source for connecting to a camera and taking pictures of some kind
(USB or CMOS like the JPEG / COMedia versions)? Is it easy then to read/write
to an SD card?
I'm actually looking for a camera myself, with the idea of adding ftp client
calls to the ARMweb. The idea is to build a webcam using an ARMweb.
So far I've found one at Saelig, which has a serial interface and saves JPG
images. There may be others out there, especially as those modules are quite
common in cell phones, though usually the interface is a parallel bus.
For an SD card I'd go with an SD card with a built in file system, like

Yes, its more expensive, but my time to port/develop code is worth something.
