What Windows CE based machines (handhelds, pocket PCs etc.) can be
equipped with a still-image camera that can save images (B/W or color)
directly in BMP file format?
For example: HP Jornada 560 has an optional camera that one can buy,
unfortunately, it saves only in JPEG file format
(http://hpjornada.hp-at-home.com/jornada/products/560/acc_pocket_camera.html).
Converting JPEG to BMP afterwards is not acceptable because details
has already been lost through the initial JPEG compression. Press Release: Sierra Imaging Announces Image Expert CE To Support ::
CE To Support Microsoft Windows CE, Handheld PC Professional Edition; Image Expert CE acts as the interface between your digital camera and the rest

I found another WinCE camera that might meet your BMP requirement.
According to this link
(http://www.lifeview.com.tw/english/flycam-cf_e.asp), the FlyCAM-CF
supports the BMP format.
The following link provides a comparison of the CompactFlash Digital
Cameras that are compatible with Pocket PCs:

Of the cameras mentioned in the link above, the PD-500C can store
files in BMP format according to the following link:

The cewindows.net link states that the PD-131 and the iPAQ Pocket PC
are compatible with the PD-500C.
Hope that this comment was useful to you.
Thanks for the link to the P-D131. Unfortunately, it is an error on
their website. According to their tech support personnel, PD-500C
CANNOT save images in BMP file format. Obviously they still have not
corrected their website.
