“I have been an amateur photographer since I was a child. When I saw there was a camera module to go with the Raspberry Pi (which I had already bought) I decided I had to have one.
I have definitely not been disappointed. It arrived quickly, well packaged and I had it up an running in a short time. I have since added a motion detector and got them both working together.
The camera produces very good images, especially when you consider how small it is and the applications that go with it are simple but effective.
A worthy addition to the Raspberry Pi, highly recommended.
Now I need to pakage the whOle lot in a waterproof container so I can strap it to a tree and snap some wildlife.”
“The camera module for Raspberry PI it's a great add-on for this little computer.
Plugged in and powered on, software update from the command line and images appeared on screen.
The camera interfaces directly with the GPU so image previews and video recording canbe seen even from the terminal interface.
When running under X don't expect to be able to drag the preview panel around, it's not a window.
Great image quality and video recording directly into x264 is a bonus.”
“The service was excellent, very quick, and the camera module works well in daylight, but not so good in poor light. The camera module is quite small, so a mounting bracket would be a good additional purchase.”
