Take a closer look at the AVR family and ponder the mystical abilities
of an external RAM address bus. A YUV422 CIF image is 84480 bytes
(NTSC) or 101376 bytes (PAL), easily and fairly transparently mappable
into the AVR's data addressing space using a minimum of external glue
logic.

There are probably PICs with external buses too, though I wouldn't
know about them.
