Finally an open source camera (Hardware and Software)

That project is about 5-6 years old. I remember being exited when I first saw that page. It still is exiting. But not news :)

I could sacrifice my ethics just a bit and use a canon camera with a 5MP sensor and CHDK for 1/10th the price. No ethernet though.

and there is an open cinema project as well http://cinema.elphel.com/

what excites me more is that open hardware is finally getting into mainstream devices. future is bright.

It has Ethernet. I wonder if it does gigevision?
