At this point, I got this cam :

It use the vc0706 using Serial to control the cam, and it can download the picture using Serial or SPI, it kinda nice. So far, I used the VC0706CommTool to test if it can at least download a picture using directly connected Serial2USB port. It actually works fine using the Serial protocol.
It's buggy when it come down to ESP8266. I use the library from Seeed Studios Camera Shield found:
http://wiki.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Camera_Shield
and all the bla blah lead to this hub:
https://github.com/fredericplante/Camera_Shield_VC0706
My pin out:
What the beast actually look like:
But mine, I got the maker to put connector on the back side, it's better that way, I think.
I will try to make the thing work on a plain arduino mini, to see if any thing happen, tomorrow, and post feed back if any one want to know.
Then, I guess, I was planning to fuse the snapshot code with the FSBrowser example that come with the Arduino/ESP8266 distribution, making a call to the takepicture function and then sending a webpage that request that picture, instead of the common page that come with the example, or something.
By using the SPI interface at high pace, for picture fetching, It's probable that One could get a few fps out of the process, by refreshing the page, or by using a simple script, I guess.
I like the fact that, on the ESP8266, I have the flash available on board, ready to serve to save a picture for a web page. No need for SD. Any ways, for many reasons, like the Video composite Out, I think this beast is better the the Arducam mini, but has long it does not work with ESP8266, it's meaningless to say so.
Regards!
