Hats off to anyone modifying a digital SLR however don't attempt to take apart a slimline digital camera.
I did to see if I could use it as an AVI capture device, stupid me I should have asked someone first, although it was an old 2 megapixel camera I no longer used so it didn't really matter in the end.
I wanted to remove the lens but alas no can do as the lens assembly and CCD holder are molded into one piece with little servo's etc for zoom and focusing, boy did I get a kick when I touched the flash capacitor twice by accident, I soon took that off.
These cameras are amazing pieces of technology and complexity the amount of mechanical and electronics crammed in. If I had a schematic I would have been able to get it back togethor but after breaking a couple of ribbon cables it didn't matter I tossed the lot in the bin.
It may be easier just to buy a Phillips Toucam.
