Get the 5 Megapixel version.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

Having used the predecessor of this camera for quite a lot of time lapse photography outdoors, the first thing I noticed about this one was the excessive pincushion distortion. Distant objects have a fuzzier focus despite the higher resolution; take pictures of the same distant subject with this camera and with the 5 Megapixel version and the latter will be sharper.

You can use ImageMagick to correct the pincushion distortion (mostly), but after you have cropped out what is usable (Correcting pincushion distortion messes up the edges.), you don't have left many more pixels than you would have had from the older version 1 camera. After using this camera for a while, I went back to my old version 1 since it takes better pictures--both sharper and less distorted.

Lack of documentation a hindrance

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2019

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

The camera module works well, but I had to go searching for information on the proper orientation of the ribbon cable when connecting to a Raspberry Pi (3B+ in my case). What I was unaware of was that the connector on the Pi side had a lift-up latch which then needs to be pushed back down to lock the connector in place. Once I did that, the camera worked....

But it was out of focus. After still more searching, I discovered that the V2 camera is preset to "infinity" focus, but that the focus IS changeable. It turns out that the plastic funnel-shaped piece included with the camera is a tool for adjusting the focus, something mentioned nowhere I could find. You push it against the front of the lens and turn one way or another to adjust. Of course, you'll have to test a view after each adjustment to see the effect.

Once I got that out of the way, it worked very well, though the depth of field is rather shallow.

Not able to work at 1920x1080 on RPI 3 or RPI4

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

I have a raspberry pi version 4 with the latest buster and updates. I am using python and opencv. At 1920x1080 the picture is blueish and sometimes there appear to be three horizontal layers of off colors. I can still see the image though. Lower resolutions work. ffmpeg doesn't do any better and the fps are too slow. I tried other camera models, no problem. I tried another ribbon cable and thought it was better, but not so good. I am thinking the camera connection to the ribbon cable is messed up. It is in there tight thought. Asked for replacement from seller who is not MFR. Also have extended warranty but they said one year warranty from MFR is not up. I am currently in email no mans land trying to get a replacement.

Update: seller said it was problem with raspbian v4 or RPI v4. So I build a new image on RPI v3. Same thing as shown in second picture. Works great in other resolutions, but not in highest resolution. My other cameras are fine. Still waiting for resolution. BTW, the frame rate is pretty good and pictures not to bad for a postage stamp camera lens, but the colors are off.

Update: April 21, 2020 Moved camera to RPI3 and RPI3B with older software. Same issues. Oh well. Will return under extended warranty.

This is a great hobby camera with Consistent picture quality

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

This camera is exactly as described. Very small but very good quality. I've been having issues with my Raspberry Pi that required me to repeatedly power cycle the device and it still isn't having any issues. It's a quality 1080 image/video and though I've seen comments about focus, I have had no issues. I actually use my pi to keep an I eye on the house & watch my 3d Printer progress through different prints, and I am more than happy with the results. The package was delivered on time with no damage. Good Buy.

For those having issues getting started streaming, simply open terminal and run the following command:
sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

The is an "L" not a "1" by the way. It works perfectly. The screenshot attached is a picture of my raspberry pi streaming video over the internet on my phone while I was testing a new camera position for watching my 3d Printer.

Color: Noir Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

Excellent for its purpose. If you need a surveillance camera this is great. Works well in daylight (though colors are washed off due to the lack of IR filtering). When lit at night by standard flourescent and LEDs the colors appear suprisingly well. Combine this with a 850nm IR LED then you have excellent visibility in the dark. Works outdoors too, you only have to slightly change the focus by rotating the lens.

I have spent hours on the forums and done everything suggested to no avail. In short this camera is terrible. The 'foggy' photo is this camera and the good one is a very old 3MP Logitech webcam. You would think an 8MP camera would be far better but it isn't. Perhaps this is not a true Raspberry Pi camera

Zweites Mal defekt

Reviewed in Germany on February 20, 2020

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

Zweiter Versuch über und bei Amazon für mein Ocotprint eine Raspberry Cam zu bestellen.
Erst war von einem Händler über Amazon:
Kamera ausgepackt, am Rapsberry angeschlossen und nichts passiert. An nem anderen Raspberry probiert. Selbes Problem.
Hab sie dann zurück geschickt.
Nun nochmals über Warehous Deal direkt bei Amazon bestellt. Die Verpackung war in einer Versandtasche. Die Verpackung der Raspberry Cam war total zusammengedrückt. Hatte schon ein schlechtes Gefühl! Sollte sich leider auch bewahrheiten. Wieder an beiden angeschlossen und siehe da wieder nichts.
Hab von einem Bekannten, der selber ein Raspberry an seinem 3D Drucker hat seine Raspberry Cam kurz ausgeliehen und probiert. Siehe da, seine Funktioniert.
Habe zwischenzeitlich eine Webcam gekauft, weil ich schon irgendwie eine Vorahnung hatte. Jetzt habe ich statt der kleinen Raspberry Cam halt eine etwas größere Webcam am Raspberry angeschlossen.

Die Kamera hat bei mir nur einen kurzen Eindruck hinterlassen. Bestellt, ausgepackt und bemerkt das man ja für den Zero ein anderes Kabel benötigt... Kabel wurde geliefert, alles zusammen gesteckt - Ordentliche Bildqualität festgestellt.
Alles nochmal zerlegt und in ein Gehäuse gebastelt und das war es dann. was auch immer die Cam gekillt hat, EMP oder was mechanisches - für ein "Bastelsystem" scheinbar zu empfindlich und damit dann auch zu teuer für den kurzen Spass.
Ich habe die Cam noch mal an einen 3er Raspberry geklemmt - sie ist tot.

Out of focus

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2018

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

The camera worked fine, however the focus of the lens was set way too close for my needs. As explained in other reviews and online guides, it is possible to refocus the lens by rotating it (invalidating the warranty in the process). This involved some trial and error to get right. By my 5th or 6th attempt i had clearly damaged the camera in some way and it now does not work. Disappointed to say the least. Manufacturers and sellers should really make the focusing easier and/or state clearly when ordering what the factory focus setting is

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

so this was easy to fit but very hard to use and make use of, it works amazing in daylight or lit rooms low light it is pretty much useless / night time just dark. I was expecting Raspbian to have some sort of program to use it like gutcview for example but nothing, the most ive managed is to record a video I cant see what it is recording and preview it for like 10 seconds :L again maybe it's just me being in experienced. I brought it for a pi bot smart car im using vnc viewer to control I found an option to display it over the vnc but have not found a way to have a constant feed just the previews that are useless pretty much for what I wanted .

Camera needs to be handed with care. Laso the sensor in the front, if a little pressure is applied to it, the camera stops working, not good with the case I had for it. Also there is no tool to focus the camera, you'll need to acquire it somewhere else. Once I got it working, picture quality was quite good and worked with no issues just plugged into my RP3.

Extremely poor image quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2019

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

Very disappointing purchase. Image quality absolutely dreadful! Soft (even after a focus adjustment), flat, undefined images and that's with a variety of drivers/software.

I suspect this is due to incorrect camera gamma and the very low quality lens fitted. Whats the point of fitting such a poor lens to a reasonable sensor? In fact I've had way better image quality from old PAL board camera modules.

Ok for the odd selfie but if its decent quality you're after then I think this camera cannot be recommended.

Die Kamera ist eigentlich okay, aber der Fokus der kleinen Linse ist auf unendlich eingestellt. Man kann diesen ändern indem man sie dreht, aber da kein Werkzeug dafür beilag, habe ich den Fehler gemacht, das mit einer Pinzette zu versuchen. Bin abgerutscht und leicht an die Linse gekommen die sofort verkratzt ist und jetzt liefert die Kamera ein verschwommenen Bild. Und austauschen kann man die Linse wohl nicht. Also Vorsicht beim Fokus einstellen!
