I think pic 8-bit maybe slow to handle picture from my camera so i decide to choose pic 16-bit to connect with module camera ov7670 0.3mpx. But i search in ccs both of ccs driver and ccs example, I don't see driver or library. I search in web too, but don't find how to interface pic24f with module ov7670. So i have 2 questions, whether pic24f can be suitable for module and where can i find project, sample code, driver, lib or anything concern to my project ?

quick comments...
1) use a 3 volt PIC ! the camera is a 3 V device, so using a 3V PIC makes the interface easy.

2) I assume you have a 'module' NOT just the camera 'chip' ? If so please post a link to the modules data sheet. Not every module will have every feature on the chip available and maybe some ARE rated for 5 volts.

3) Use Google ! I found thousands of 'hits' about the camera so I'm confident there already is code available

4) as for the suitability of camera vs PIC. It all depends upon your application and skill levels. It appears the camera uses some form of serial communication so 'suitability' will depend on the serial interface.
