Smartphone camera module compatibility with Arduino.

Please listen to your own advise Grumpy_Mike.

I didn't once say the word "video", i was intending to use the the module for images, taking an image approximately every 30 seconds. Which would have sufficiently lower demand than most video's.

I know that arduino has stock camera modules/shields, but none of them seem to have the quality i would like. So i was unsure.

The reason i thanked JohnLincoln and not yourself, was because he gave me something constructive to work with. Dead end answers are not conducive to creativity, which i believe the Arduino community is all about.

If anyone has an alternative method for achieving 10-12 MP images it would be most appreciated?
