Here's my white whale: currently, the cheapest way to get a really high resolution. Nice quality image from a system that you can program easily and run on a schedule a very low power is Arducam 64mp owlsight + rpi 5 If we can find a way to use that camera with cheaper board it would be huge!

Are there sensor modules with a built in USB 2.0 PHY that would be appropriate? Newer MCUs have USB host and a few megabytes of memory, probably enough to store a high res jpeg or at least could flush half a framebuffer at a time.

Other than that, newer MCUs have direct mipi but then you're probably looking at a slightly more complex board
