One could build a pretty cool "deck of cards" sized networked camera with these parts:
sensor: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5838
display: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5872
MCU: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5323
battery: https://www.adafruit.com/product/353
There would be a little soldering to connect the camera module to the MCU but AFAICT all of the hardware (camera, radios, display, touch...) is nicely supported by CircuitPython on the Espressif SoC and the board has power management, including charging via USB-C.
