Adafruit will be happy to help you out. It has posted instructions (http://learn.adafruit.com/diy-wifi-raspberry-pi-touch-cam) for making a point-and-shoot using little more than a Raspberry Pi (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/15/raspberry-pi-model-b-512mb-ram/), its matching camera module and Adafruit's PiTFT touchscreen. The resulting device won't rival any modern point-and-shoot (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/05/nikon-coolpix-s02/) for quality, but it's truly usable -- you can even slap on a WiFi adapter to upload shots to Dropbox. Whatever your experience with DIY photography, you'll find everything you need to know at the source link.
