Good Camera for PPC...?

Looking around a little, it appears 1.3 megapixels is the best that you can
get in a SD camera attachment for a iPaq. Of those, users of the one from
HP seem very disappointed. Any recommendations for a better model from
another manufacturer?

But, unless you want the camera to be a "glad I had it handy thing" then, I
would at least consider a separate camera...

The cameras on a card tend to be underfeatured, poorly light sensitive, and
severely lacking on storage in most cases (Exception to the last point would
be if you had both SD and CF storage, etc. ).

Unless you have an application that requires a camera on the PPC (such as
teleconference) or you just want it to be an inclusive unit. No accounting
for personal taste or custom applications, of course. ;)

I've been reasonably impressed by the Veo 130S SD camera (1.3 megapixels).
You can find my comparison of it with other PPC camera cards and some camera
phones at...

Yeah like Todd said, the Veo is decent enough (though poor in low
light). I did a review for Aximsite last year :
