Should we have camera as a feature (and what board)?

[dglaude]

I started to investigate the Camera feature and what board seems capable or made for.
This is to open the discussion if a Camera feature would be interesting and if so, what board to include/exclude.

YES board:

• Board that have a camera visible on the picture

1. https://circuitpython.org/board/adafruit_esp32s2_camera/
2. https://circuitpython.org/board/espressif_esp32s3_eye/
3. https://circuitpython.org/board/espressif_esp32_eye/

MAYBE board:

• Spresense has a "camera" build-in module => I assume it is camera ready, but is it supported in CircuitPython? https://circuitpython.org/board/spresense/

NO board:

• Grand Central M4 as a dedicated guide related to camera (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ov7670-camera-library-samd51) but that is Arduino Only. https://circuitpython.org/board/grandcentral_m4_express/

I don't know board:

• Should we put all the board that have "imagecapture" feature??? https://docs.circuitpython.org/en/latest/shared-bindings/support_matrix.html?filter=imagecapture#module-support-matrix

Based on meeting discussion on 20220926: Less than 1% of the board have a camera, and if someone want to use a camera in CircuitPython (s)he will have read one learn guide that explain the working board, the working camera and the limitations. So adding that as a feature is not a big win.
