see also multicam for raspberry/arducam more demanding tasks.
at their core this modules uses external RAM (psram to buffer an ov2640 camera module that does jpeg at 10fps on-board. the external ram is not strictly necessary, but going fwd its the right way to go, beware of modules without one
Note2: new modules in market are updated, make sure they carry PSRAM chip
note: current M5Stack modules DO NOT come with the PSRAM chip and are limited in performance and by heat issues.

M5Stack host it's product page on github .
M5Stack warn not to use the cam module for extended time as “it might over heat"!
also as this github issues #1,#2 mention it does not come with the PSRAM extra memory so it cannot run some demos and is generally slower. as the answer is
If you have the non-psram model, then the max you can stream is 800×600, 1 frame buffer and quality around 10 or more.
With PSRAM you can do full res, full quality and 2 or more frame buffers.
note: they recently forked a github with psram support so expect it to be available sometime soon.

the ESP32-WROVER-B Module has the 8MB PSRAM but lacks some peripherals.
note the diff between qrover and wrover-b, which has the extra 8MB. better not use less then 4MB.
the T8 has the PSRAM with all the peripherals but the camera connector. store
the PSRAM is “a cheaper cost-per-bit cache and buffered memory solution” (link)
from ESP-PSRAM64 datasheet
“the ESP32 SDK at the moment only supports the ESP-PSRAM32 chip.” (doc), post#1.post#2
note: current M5Stack modules DO NOT come with the PSRAM chip and are limited in performance and by heat issues. TBD 
camera and lenses
OV2640 datasheet
an earlier source code shows how to stream MJPEG to a browser.
in video is an example of that with a few ov modules with ribbon connectors
here is a reddit comment about working with the ov2640 and the arduino platform
relate to all the above.
with help of me-no-dev i got the esp32-cam working!, below is just all i tried before this nudge i got.
TLDR: this module comes with a bootloader, but no app. and flashing one didn't get me the results i can work with ATM.
esp32-cam delivery via coolcomponents (3dayups), started by powering it with ftdi breakout (3v/5v) switch.
but it couldn't get over the startup peaks (after it stabilize on ~160mA).
using cam-qr code
arch and esf-idf are in package war. went with esp32env docker
PRO TIP - You can change the baud rate and other properties with make menuconfig which will drop you in esp-idf's project configuration menu.
I recommend selecting a baud rate of 921600 as it will reduce flashing times to around 4-5 seconds.

still debug doesnt look as expected (lines), and disabling its still shit…
back to ttmmtt fork, now with a change at app_main.c
#define CAMERA_FRAME_SIZE CAMERA_FS_QQVGA //CAMERA_FS_UXGA
i suspect the slow framerate (0.05fps) and finkness is just there.
ESP8266 was winXP, ESP32 is windows vista!
phase#5
now i found esp32-camera espresiff github repo, maybe it's the key.
it needs an SPRAM board so i will return to the ESP32-CAM module, that gave me lots of grief
this one needs more work to adapt to my virtual dev environment (esp32env), as in
clone the hello-world example
mkdir -p ~/dev/esp32-camera-test/components
cp /esp-idf-master/examples/get-started/hello_world/ ~/dev/esp32-camera-test
add the repo to it
cd ~/dev/esp32-camera-test/components
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp32-camera
compile/flash
esp32env make menuconfig
esp32env make -j4 all
esp32env make -j4 flash
fuck this shit, arduino support for the esp32-camera is out!
but…. still not fully backed.
trying a fork of esp32-camera by M5 Stack didn't result in much , 0x20001 error
