I stumbled upon this the other day, while initially developed for R/C Model Aircraft this small video camera could make for an interesting PICaxe add-on.

This devices is charged by USB, records with a number of modes for still and video to SD-Cards. A servo horn attachment is available, allowing some control of the lens direction and as well as a set of contacts for shutter control or start/stop of video recording.
It weighs just 37g and is 40 x 80 x 14 mm... I was considering it for recording a MiniSumo view of a contest but I'm sure you can think of lots of other applications.
Cost appears to be in the region of £45-50 just a bit more than I'd like to pay at the moment...
regards,
Colin
