I purchased a $15 Spectec camera(like this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Secure-Digital-SD-Camera-for-Palm-Pocket-PC_W0QQitemZ270107302138QQihZ017QQcategoryZ38331QQ ssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) which worked with my WM2003 SE SX66. I am happy with it as it takes pretty decent pictures and videos in the daylight and there is no need to take the device apart to install it. However, when I moved to WM5, I found that it stopped being compatible. Even after I installed specific WM5.0 drivers from http://www.spectec.com.tw, it did not seem to get initialized. After looking at what can be done to make it work I found that it is possible by doing the following.
In order for the camera to work, it is necessary to instal the WM5 version of the camera driver first and copy Photoview.exe file from \Windows folder somewhere else e.g. storage card.Then uninstall it and instal the WM2003 driver version. After that replace the file Photoview.exe file in the \Windows folder with the saved WM5 version. That is it the Spectec SDIO camera becomes compatible with WM 5.0 Siemens SX66
I hope this info might be helpful for someone with updated WM 5.0 Siemens SX66 and looking for a way to add the camera
