Rich, I think you, and a few others may have missed my point early on in my posting. I don't want a major headache working with hardware and software, instead, I was playing with the idea of simply tearing apart an exsisting digi-cam, and utilizing that in it's entirety. No programming involved.
I have a webcam I got for free that's capable of running off of batteries and taking pictures without being hooked up to a computer. It's a pretty basic setup with only 3 buttons and 1 LCD screen to interact with . . . I figure a couple of days time to have something together that will totally suck as far as resolution is concerned, but should provide me with enough experience to move up to something more complex. Right now I have to find a SLR that is parts already . . . I don't want to ruin any of my 'good' cameras just yet.
