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!

Ok it looks like the OV64A 64mp sensors with raw mipi output run about $18. But not sure if it would be easy to bring up the sensor and swallow that whole uncompressed framebuffer even on the chunky new ESPs with like, tens of megabytes of ram.
