Interesting read. I might bite if it was $20, but $42 is steep.

Cheap, 640x480, I2C+Data...
I wonder if that could be used together with a Spinneret?

It needs a lot of performance from the host device, an ARM7 running at 85 MHz can just about cope using assembler and can only manage a greyscale image. It really requires an ARM9.

Darn...

And it was such a cheap camera, too.
(Read some of the document, and it seems the limitations apply even if trying to take stills. )
