To answer the question in the subject: There is no such thing a a
TWAIN-compliant camera o scanner. Only the scan applications are
TWAIN-compatible. So beeing TWAIN-compatible doesn't mean anything for
hardware.

What's "adaptive technology"?

As far as I know, no new SANE backends for cameras have been added
during the last few years. But check our lists to be sure.

However, there is the gphoto2 backend which can be used to access
devices supported by gphoto2. See http://www.gphoto.org.

There is also a backend for accessing video cameras supported by
video4linux called v4l.
