Yes.  Google has this as the second hit:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_on_module

Looking at some of the other hits, capacities seem rather limited.  If
pushed, I'd probably go CF with an IDE adapter if I didn't have one on
the motherboard, primarily because then you can use just about any
card reader to access it in another system, not to mention that when
you upgrade your camera's CF card collection, you'll essentially have
smaller, but still usable, ones for embedded use.  (I find I'm looking
for uses for my 32M-256M CF cards now that I'm mostly using $G, 2G,
and 1G cardso, with a few "emergency" 512M ones)
