Yes, there's a lot to like about the Pi Zero with WiFi... but camera adds to the cost and all Pi variants are currently solid unobtainium.

The ESP32-CAM is still only $7 including a 2MP camera and WiFi and Bluetooth, and works with the Arduino environment. I published a paper on using ESP32-CAM as a programmable camera research platform in January; here are my presentation slides . Many people are using ESP32-CAM; here are 60+ ESP32-CAM Projects, Tutorials and Guides with Arduino IDE from RandomNerdTutorials.
