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.

Poor Video from R'S Plaza

Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

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

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.

I’ve owned several, they all failed

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2020

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

This camera module is not a suitable stand-in for a real webcam. I have gone through several, using the camera as a print monitor/timelapse camera for a 3D printer, each one failing after only a few days of use.

The lens is manual focus and is incredibly hard to get a good grip on to twist it without scratching the lens itself. There are focus knob attachments you can print off and glue to the lens base, but it really is nothing more than a tiny piece of plastic that if twisted too far can cause it to dislodge entirely from the image sensor base, which invariably can cause permanent damage to the camera.

While it is a cheap camera, it is not a very good camera, giving only mediocre camera quality for its 1080p resolution. In reality, you’re just not going to be able to get very good images from this thing, as it’s meant to show off the special port on the RasPi, and not anything more. Oh, and get a 100cm cable, as the included cable is far, far too short.

For the amount of times I’ve had these fail, be prepared to be constantly replacing this, as it is incredibly delicate and tends to brick itself over time with no real explanation as to why. Even with anti-static wear, and extreme care taken to the electronics, it is just not worth it.

Great. Just as advertised.

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.

Rapporto qualità/dimensioni imbattibile!

Reviewed in Italy on September 7, 2018

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

Questa Pi Cam v2.1 da 8 Megapixel riesce davvero a sorprendere per le capacità che dimostra di possedere rapportate alle dimensioni ridottissime.
Un minimo di attenzione va data al collegamento fisico con il Raspberry, ma superato ciò la configurazione software è banalissima e con un semplice comando da terminale "raspistill -o image.jpg" per le foto oppure "raspivid -o vid.h264" per i video (senza virgolette) potrete già iniziare a vedere i risultati!

La consiglio in quanto ho già provato a fare progetti con webcam usb ma:
1) occupano piu spazio;
2)alcune non sono compatibili con le porte USB del Raspberry;
3)in alcune occasioni le porte USB non sono libere per poter collegare una webcam.

Hat nur kurz gelebt

Reviewed in Germany on December 21, 2019

Color: Camera Module V2Verified Purchase

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.
