"In this article, you will learn how to use the integrated camera APIs for capturing photos and videos by a practical sample application that is based on a business scenario—an inspection. The sample shows how the new high-level constructs, such as the picture selection and camera capture dialogs, can be included easily in an enterprise application. You will see how to use the media player control in your applications by using both native code and the new managed Component Object Model (COM) interoperability features with some excellent community add-in code. You will also learn about how you can use the more advanced features available in the DirectShow API, if you require more control in the interaction of media and a camera. Sample DirectShow code is included to show playback and capture of both video and audio."



A nice guide presented by Christian Forsberg detailing the creation of an application that utilizes the camera in a WM 5 machine for much more than taking quick cat photos to upload to your blog. Check it out and begin integrating the camera to your apps - because as much as we complain about it's lack of resolution and our inability to enter some buildings with it, Cameras are probably here to stay.
