Re: How long to understand camera and write useful code
IMO, The best way to get started with the camera is to use Kevin Watson's code from http://www.kevin.org/frc/. He has not only great documentation but some code that can get you up and running with the camera in no time. Currently it is all for the 2007 and older RCs but I don't think it will take him long to update it for 2008 if needed.
