Omnivision http://www.ovt.com is one of the leaders in CMOS camera modules.
These days, VGA is low end product and comes dirt cheap. They have a
significant share of the camera modules for mobile phones. Interface is
parallel for data and serial for control.

Whether computing power of a PIC is enough for your needs is another matter


Quoting Mauricio Jancic <info@janso.com.ar>:

> Hi,
> 	I need to obtain an image inside a PIC, it can be any PIC a 33, 24,
> or any other, it doesn't matter. I would like to hear experiences and/or
> suggestions on what would be the best thing to use to obtain the image.
>
> 	The image needs to be at least 640x480 pixels, monochrome, I only
> need one still image, not a video. The image will be taken 15 cm (or a
> custom fixed distance) from the object and a proper lens will be installed.
>
> 	I'm open to any option, but preferably medium qty solutions (1000
> units)
