New Raspberry Pi Camera
Production of the original Pi Camera’s image sensor ended in 2014 so we have known for quite some time that there would be a new Pi Camera coming – it was only a matter of time! The new Pi Camera is a higher resolution an 8MP Sony IMX219 and features better color representation, better image quality, and better low light performance in addition to the increased resolution. At this time the video resolution / record rates are the same 1080P @ 30FPS, 720P @ 60FPS, and VGA @ 90FPS but using the new image sensor, the overall quality should be much better.
Just like the last the camera module, there is a NoIR camera for infrared light and a standard camera for visible light. The overall size of the board remains the same.
We expect to have both versions of the camera in the next few business days and are now accepting orders:
