Re: CCD / CMOS affordable camera kits???

I am also poundering similar stuff. I opened an obsolete 2MP digital camera.
The Casio 400K pixel LCD was stripped easily, but the connectors are
difficult
to fit into breadboard. They used some copper strips embedded in a plastic
strip
type. May I know how to recycle this LCD?

Thanks.
