    Strange you ask (now) - several here have been considering (just) that.

    Omnivision "OV7740" camera chip is both current & adequate in performance. In addition a lens and mount are usual accessories.

    TM4C129 performance (or beyond) is usually required - yet if you can search/find a "camera module" which includes lens & mount - several here may be able to assist you further...

    Hello Ferz,

    There are some facts about camera's that it is essential I highlight first.

    1. There are 2 types of camera's: Parallel port which perform high rate of transfer and Serial port which perform low rate of transfer
    2. There is no native camera interface on TM4C device (something that could have made the device more feature rich). So if a parallel interface camera is to be used, some glue logic is needed in between the camera and TM4C

    So the question is
    1. What kind of camera do you want?
    2. What is the "sink" for camera data? Is it a display or does it go over ethernet
    3. What type of TM4C12x device you plan to use: TM4C123x or TM4C129x (the latter has a better capability to acquire/process data)

    And to add to cb1's post, a check of OVT's site shows that the available camera module of OV7670 and OV9655 may be the original one as the camera sensor has been EOL'ed by OVT 4 years back (Hence OV7740 as a suggestion).

    Regards
