Here it was done for an iTard MIPI DSI (Display) but you'd need something similar with the camera.

But if you want to make a small bodycam you could try to find a broken laptop and take out the webcam/mic in there, these are usually USB interface, so it's very simple to use and integrate into things.
If you wanna do photography or high quality shots though, yeah, just take a normal camera.

Also: I'd just like to namedrop

"fairphone"
