Impossible to get video capture working at viable requirement, very low framerate (fps) and resolution #14

Is it impossible to get acceptable video resolution and frame rate using Pico? Even when flashing using C compiled code, I am still only getting around 3/4 fps at lowest resolution 320 x 240, and changing resolution setting does nothing, it stuck on the lowest resolution, even for image... image

Based on my searching, it seems this issue had been brought up multiple times even in Arduino code issue: https://github.com/ArduCAM/Arduino/issues/1#issuecomment-178943246

and as commented by @ArduCAM themselves, this seems to be not suitable for video? image

Is it actually impossible or just require more register configuration and more complicated coding? I am trying to get atleast 30fps 720p but this seems more impossible and its better to just get a usb webcam camera and regular raspberry pi instead. Is this due to SPI speed restrictions? If so, how do I learn about this to prevent myself from making similar mistake in the future? Thanks.
