5MP OV5647 Camera Module for Raspberry Pi

This is the most affordable camera module available in the market! It is custom-designed to be used with Raspberry Pi single-board computers.

In the example above the camera is connected to a Raspberry Pi 3(Raspberry Pi is not included)

This camera module is compatible with:

• Raspberry Pi 5
• Raspberry Pi 4 Model B
• Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and B+
• Raspberry Pi Zero series

The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm. It also weighs just over 3 grams, making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important. The camera is connected to the CPU on the Raspberry Pi via the CSI bus. This bus travels along the cable (FFC - Flexible Flat Cable) that attaches the camera board to the Pi. 

The sensor itself has a native resolution of 5 megapixels and has a fixed focus lens onboard. In terms of still images, the camera is capable of 2592 x 1944 pixel static images and also supports 1080p @ 30fps, 720p @ 60fps, and 640x480p 60/90 video.
