8MP IMX219 175 Degree Ultra Wide Angle Raspberry Pi Camera Module, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, 4B, Pi 3/3B+, and Pi Zero 2W

Overview

No less than the Raspberry Pi official camera V2, this camera module is also equipped with a high-definition IMX219 8MP sensor for shooting HD video and still images. It is excellent in image quality, color fidelity, and low light.

This camera module has a 175°(D) wide-angle M12 Lens, which provides a much wider Field of View compared to the stock lens on V2 camera module.

For beginners, this is a very easy camera module to get started; for advanced players, this camera module has more knowledge that you should explore and DIY.
