Subject: Tiny USB camera?
I've been making myself a wearable computer, but I'm having difficulty
sourcing a small camera for it.
I recently picked up a small batch of laptop cameras, which while small
have the cameras mounted on the front of thin but long pcbs. Sadly none
are attatched by flex so can't be readily moved relative to the board.

Mobile phone cameras tend to have a small flex that'd allow this, but
even information on interfacing them is scarce.

My only current option for an unobtrusive usb camera seems to be
attempting to de-solder the camera module from the laptop pcbs and run
flying wires to it, presuming the BGA isn't too dense.

Does anyone know of any other tiny camera options? Ideally cheap ones.
