One of the things that I came across when I was looking for an RPi camera replacement was Samsung's "ISOCELL Plug and Play" - A turn-key solution with prepackaged lens, EIS, image pretuning, and VCX* objective camera evaluation. The image looked good enough compared to cutting edge at the time, and I imagined it would be perfect for small startups and companies who wanted a quick time to market.
Unfortunately I never got one and it now looks to be unavailable. I don't know if Samsung would have had interest in Open Source efforts to support the modules.
