Simple Still Camera components?

Greetings,
I am trying to design and implement a very simple camera that would
capture VGA quality images and store them to flash memory such as SD
or MMC.
I am seeking the advice of the experienced people out there about
the recommendations for a microcontroller and image sensor
combination. I am looking for a fairly low cost solution since it is
only a hobby. I know that I can get a cheap camera and all, but I
would like to learn about it and try to implement it myself.

Thank you for your time and help.
