Is there a way I can capture 1080p images using ArduCAM V2.0.0 and this camera? At the moment I can only see QVGA supported. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    We currently have worked out the OV5642 1080p image capture with our ArduCAM shield.

what is the difference between ov5640 and ov5642?

Can i use it on esp32 or esp8266?

at 800×600 the esp32 (esp32-cam) already is pretty busy with it all. streaming like maybe 3-4 frames at a XGA resolution slowing the main loop() teribly.. too bad, because the esp32 is such a nice allround processor.

anyone know a good wifi/ble board that can handle this much 1080p buffers/pixels , fully programmable on the arduino IDE?

Is the JPEG compression lossy or lossless?

Is it compatible with ESP32 ?
