You need to start by actually identifying what you want to do. A 'camera' covers a lot of ground, as does 'a PIC'.
Video camera, still camera, what image size, etc. etc..
Most "PIC's", do not have enough memory to interface to any sort of 'camera'....
However, looking at some of the medium/larger PIC's, with small mono CCD's, it becomes 'possible'. The simplest, is something like the uCam module, <http://www.4dsystems.com.au/prod.php?id=76>
This uses simple serial commands to setup the resolution to be used, take an image, and read it. No interfacing, except standard serial needed. Hardest bit decoding jpeg. There are similar imager's available from several other companies.
However even with something like this, remember that a single image can be up to 64KB, and hence cannot be used by 99% of PIC's....
