There's a big ease of coding and debugging difference in "has python interface"
and "has python command line" while running python internally.
The price of the module is not the BOM cost either. BOM cost of micropython
based on the ARM STM32 mcu is very good.

But... if you want nice micro-photographs right away, I am sure Simon's
recommendations of FOSS on Canon digicams is the way to go.

For machine vision based on python running on a $6 mcu, the
particular image sensor chip is not even the main thing. If OpenMV Cam's chip is
not perfect, a follow on will be closer to perfection since the inexpensive mcu hdwe + FOSS
machine vision code makes a huge value, and the image sensors to go with it can evolve better
over time.
