Where do I find CMOS image sensors and lenses?

Question

Hi everyone,I would to interface a CMOS image sensor to my FPGA. I'm looking forlow-end sensor and a matching lens. Nothing fancy or several megapixels - just the bare minimum. Do any of you have a few links tovendors or distributors? It doesn't seem to be an "off the shelf"product.Thank you very much.Regards- Stein

We were looking for something similar like a mobile phone camera, but you can't get them in low quantities and they have a very short lifetime.

ST seems to address this market now - look at

Can't give you a lot of experience yet, we're just evaluating.

Hi Stein,I have done such an interface of CMOS iamge sensor with Virtex 4 SXand LX device. I used CMU image sensor. You may like to buy this from about interfacing it, you can refer to one of my IEEEpublications atHope it helps,Regards,Manish
