I have an Arduino GIGA Module (https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/giga-r1-wifi?_pos=4&_psq=ABX00063+OR+TPX00197+OR+TPX00214+OR+TPX00215+OR+TPX00216+OR+giga-display&_ss=e&_v=1.0).

This module has an available GIGA Display Shield (https://store-usa.arduino.cc/products/giga-display-shield?selectedStore=us) with Touch Screen. That screen can handle some cameras.

The GIGA Attaches to the back side of the Display Shield and the camera modules attach to the front of the Display Shield.

Today I received two of the 4 compatible Camera Modules. Still pondering project ideas for this.

That looks like a nice set up, I need to get on the GIGA forum.

The cameras were an impulse buy. I saw a video evaluating cameras and was interested. The GIGA Module and GIGA Display were for a project that I am stuck on how I want to realize it, so they're being used at the moment.
Pretty cool. I will look them up.

As a note, I have been thinking about a few applications that were the inspiration for me buying such a display. Test procedure development was one such idea. But recently while packing things to move, I found an extra Sparkfun Weather Meter Kit (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15901) I bought when I lived in CA. At the time I bought two, because they were always out of stock on them.
Eventually I set one up in my back yard that ran off a 12V SLA, charged by a solar panel. The unit used a Propeller 1 to get the data from the various sensors and a GPS module and send them over Wi-Fi using an XBee Wi-Fi module. On my PC I had written a VB.NET app to display the information. The GPS Module served two purposes...the primary purpose was to provide an atomic time-base to my custom clocks in my home. Each got the time information directly from the network packets.
The other purpose was to provide a timestamp to the weather data, which was also recorded onto an SD Card and the log could be downloaded at any time to create charts for any of the data. Anyway, finding that extra Weather Meter Kit, I thought I might try the original code they had which was for Arduino anyway and have it displayed on that nice, shiny display.
