I have done v4l2 capture using C. This is probably the only language I would chose to do it in as well. There are a lot of low level calls you need to make into the driver. You need to map kernel memory into your app and copy buffers. You also have to set a ton of configuration for the device. If you need to I would consider writing a C library and using Platform Invoke. Another alternative is to write two programs and send the data over to your C# app via some sort of IPC.
