Ideal for DIY IoT, security, and multimedia projects, it delivers professional-grade imaging in a tiny package.

## Description

Product Description The upgraded Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 is high quality 8 megapixel using the Sony IMX219 image sensor. With a tiny size at around 25mm x 23mm x 9mm and a weight of just over 3g it makes it the perfect accessories for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important. The Camera v2 is the new official camera board released by the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The Raspberry Pi Camera Module v2 is a custom designed add-on board for Raspberry Pi, featuring a fixed focus lens. It's capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images, and also supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 video. It attaches to Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board upper surface and uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras. Box Contains 1 x Raspberry Pi Camera V2

Review: Excellent price for Excellent camera - Working well on my rpi 5, was drawn by the very low price for a 8mp camera...cable included not suitable for rpi 5 or zero. It wasn't listed as having one so can't complain , especially considering the price.
Review: Very good, but no focus tool - It's an excellent toy to add to the Pi, value for money, ridiculous modes are possible, like extremely high refresh rates under low resolution. The best picture quality is at 1280x720@25Hz (probably pixels are grouped 2x2, thus reducing noise). Full HD at 60Hz is OK. The camera is fully supported by the hardware accelerated codec. Pi, actually, can run a lightweight web server for live streaming video. One star is dropped for not including a plastic focus adjustment tool in the kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Roughly how long is the ribbon cable that comes with the camera?**
A: A 15cm ribbon cable is included but that can easily be changed for a longer one if required.

**Q: Does this fit in the official Pi Zero case?**
A: Yes it does, I have mine connected in the CA case and it fits very well.

**Q: Which Raspberry Pi's does the camera support?**
A: The Raspberry Pi v2.1 Camera Module is compatible with any model of Raspberry Pi.

**Q: Is the image produced the correct way round as a previous camera I purchased had the image flipped horizontaly?**
A: The image is not flipped. Works fine. If the software is any good you should be able to flip the image on your previous camera ( if you still have it). But if the one you get is flipped and you can't then return it as that shouldn't be the case

It's an excellent toy to add to the Pi, value for money, ridiculous modes are possible, like extremely high refresh rates under low resolution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome camera in a small form factor
*by M***K on 17 September 2016*

So as I've said in my review for the Pi I recently purchased, I wanted to set up my own wireless IP camera at the front of my house, that I'm able to view live anywhere. The quality of the Pi camera is good during the day, nice clear images and I have it set to record 1080p at 25fps straight onto my home server. Night quality isn't great, but if you crank the ISO up to 800 and the brightness up a bit, it sort of compensates for this a bit if there is some lighting (street lights etc), if not then you won't see a thing - pretty standard for cameras with an IR filter. If you are looking for a true night vision camera, you'd need the NoIR cam with some IR lighting, but as this gives colour variations thoughout the day I decided to go for the standard one instead, and just use a floodlight if needed. Great little camera, works great with the RPI Cam Web interface!
