What do you know of this device?  Is it easy to process information from it?
Could a small micro such as a PIC do piece-wise data procesing based upon
a snapped picture?  Can the same picture be read out more than once?  I've
had a couple of ideas for PIC data acquisition, and a camera like that would
be great if it would work.
