To control a cmos camera using nios II

I want to control a CMOS camera(30fps,640*480,data width 8bit) by FPGA, and the device is Cyclone c6(48MHZ). So I'm wondering if the FPGA can directly read the data form camera without any buff...

Your question about buffering depends solely on your application. What are you going to do with your image?

If you are going to do some direct processing on the image, you might get away with a pretty small buffer. If you need to store a couple of seconds of image data, you will need a pretty big buffer.
