Camera Aspect Ratio

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I'm developing some software on a series of devices including an O2
XDA Exec, Palm Treo 750 and an HP iPaq hw6915. All of these devices
have a built in camera with different resolutions.
My question is are there any APIs (with examples) that let you query
the resolution of the camera? I've seen reference to Microsoft Windows
Image Aquisition (WIA) constants but cannot find any example code that
uses these.
Alternatively if I knew that the aspect ratio of all WM 5.0 mobile
device camera's is always fixed at 1.3333 then this would also help
e.g. 640x480 yields 1.3333, 1280x1024 yields 1.3333 etc. but I suppose
this is purely down to the hardware chosen by the manufacturer or is
it defined anywhere by Microsoft?
