user550: What do I need to build a shield capable of receiving 1080p video from USB camera, timestamp each frame and send the frame to memory card?

user136: None of the ATmega based boards have the hardware (in terms of acting as a USB host) or power (in terms of handling probably compressed 1080p video).
Potentially one of the ARM boards could do this. The Arduino Due can act as a host, but it sounds fairly experimental, and none of them will have drivers to connect to the camera.
If a shield was developed to do this, it would have so much more power than the Arduino that the Arduino would probably better be viewed as a slave to the other device.
