Raspberry Pi Camera Module 5MP with OV5647 Sensor

Overview

This 5-megapixel camera module uses the well-proven OV5647 sensor with a fixed-focus lens, and plugs directly into the CSI port of a Raspberry Pi. It captures 2592 × 1944 still images and records 1080p video.

The board measures roughly 25 × 24 × 9 mm and weighs just over 3 g, which makes it ideal for anything that moves or has to fit in a tight enclosure. This is the current version 1.3, plug-and-play with current Raspberry Pi OS releases.

A 30 cm ribbon cable for Pi Zero and Zero W is included, so the narrower Zero connector is covered out of the box.
