The Raspberry Pi Camera Board plugs directly into the CSI
connector on the Raspberry Pi. It's able to deliver a crystal clear 5MP
resolution image, or 1080p HD video recording at 30fps! Latest Version
1.3!
Custom designed and manufactured by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in
the UK, the Raspberry Pi Camera Board features a 5MP (2592×1944 pixels)
Omnivision 5647 sensor in a fixed focus module. The module attaches to
Raspberry Pi, by way of a 15 Pin Ribbon Cable, to the dedicated 15-pin
MIPI Camera Serial Interface (CSI), which was designed especially for
interfacing to cameras. The CSI bus is capable of extremely high data
rates, and it exclusively carries pixel data to the BCM2835 processor.
The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm, and
weighs just over 3g, making it perfect for mobile or other applications
where size and weight are important. The sensor itself has a native
resolution of 5 megapixel, 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 recording.
The camera is supported in the latest version of Raspbian, the Raspberry Pi's preferred operating system.
