[@XSpImmaLion]

Some stuff to note about this that some people might miss: - it wasn't made to replace smartphones or standalone cameras anyways. The idea was to give better images and more res to work with in comparison to the previous camera/sensor module, which basically used a cheap webcam sensor; - if you don't intend to code anything with it, right now it's probably useless. Much like buying a devboard wthout intention to develop something with it, these things are for tinkerers and development; - it's not that the sensor is bad, the comparison just shows how much pre-processing smartphones do these days. Problems with reds and magenta, low light, and others pointed out are inherent problems of smartphone sized sensors... more specifically, these Sony IMX sensors. What happened over the years is that very smart corrections were made on the software side. So you know, when you get a sensor that captures and spits out images without much processing, this is probably closer to what you'd get. So, who is this for? This probably goes more towards tinkerers and people working with development of image recognition software, as shown in video. Which is pretty awesome given limited options developers have for direct access to high res image output. For a very long time, the best you got was probably webcams or capture cards. You see, smartphones and standalone cameras have this entire layer before you get to raw data that sometimes just gets in the way. And if development catches on with this Pi kit, some pretty interesting stuff might be coming out from this. We'll see...

[@tmicecave]

Do you know by any chance if this camera has a rolling or global shutter? For robotics neither color nor resolution matter.

[@jtcp27031]

This was exactly what I was thinking watching the video, why would you compare a module for a development board that is designed so you can make your own software with products that have entire engineering and development teams working on perfecting image quality and ease of use. Of course it won't be as usable as a gopro out of the box, it is literally just a module, you need to do the extra work for it

[@mVictarion]

How does it compare against the camera module v2?(8 megapixels) Im using the old camera module for a phogrammetric scanner, thinking in upgrading the optics. Would love a side by side comparision of the photos.

I'm doing this right now! Didn't like tying up my A7iii for Zoom calls, saw this and decided to give it a go. It's been a fantastic learning experience. Next step is to dust off my Python knowledge and make a server I can send commands to so I can remote control the thing and not need the command line options at all. Next step after that is ditching the capture card and seeing what I can do with streaming the video over the network. P.S. Has anyone noticed these C/CS lenses are great for macro? I have 4 different ones now and every single one of them can be made to focus right up to the front element. Wild!

One of my hobbies since my young teens as been writing image processing extensions/software so writing my own piece of front end software for this to appear like a somewhat modern camera firmware mixed with using some knobs/dials and a few buttons with GPIO pins. For someone like me that loves this kind of stuff it's a step in the right direction. My project was basically just a design drawing back from the old TSLR medium format cameras. Obviously mine is a single lens, but the tall box design with a waist level view finder is essentially the same. I also opted to go with a Tamron 25mm f/1.6 lens along with a selection of vintage c-mount cine lenses over a CCTV lens. I already had them all from collecting prior and use them on both a Pentax Q7 and Olympus OM-D MK II (I shoot primarily on medium format film with either a Pentax 67, Mamiya RB67/RZ67, Mamiya C330, or a Zeiss Super Ikonta among many others so I don't really see the point in investing money into a full frame mirrorless...I spend enough on my film cameras as-is lol) and they all give fairly good images, not Leica quality or something but interesting nonetheless.

This would be useful for say, insanely specific photography workflows as well, where you are looking for high control and customisability which would be impossible or expensive on a proper consumer camera. E.g. you could couple this with a raspberry pi based motion control system (which you can build out of servos) to get a highly customisable and programmable timelapse camera at a much cheaper cost than normal cameras. Or you could make a stop motion rig that moves a model and takes pictures for much cheaper than is usually possible.

[@2nd-place]

Still pretty cool that you can build your own camera with a sensor better than most digital cameras before about 2012. Imagine what kind of stuff kids will be able to build with 3D printers in 10 years. I got my first Raspberry Pi late last year, a Pi 4 with 4GB RAM and it’s a great little device. I have it setup to run complex home automations and as a local file server. Kinda want to try using it as a web server.

Would love to see more camera builds & repair videos ✌️📸 DSLR filming is highly popular these days!

Videos on the Raspberry Pi and SBCs are awesome.

What is with the aspect ratio when Brandon is talking? I love LTT videos, and rarely comment, but I gotta say, I’m not a fan of this “creative direction”.

Think they're trying to justify their anamorphic lens purchases. Just a guess though.

Leading into the side by side comparisons? Looks same as 2x16:9 (32:9)

0:18 Hey Vsauce, Linus here!

That Laowa lens leaning over 😂

I'm curious if you could attach an elgato camlink to the video out of an rpi running this camera module and use it as a webcam on a secondary computer.

Pi Foundation: We're putting the power in your hands. Me: Yessss!!! Pi Foundation: So now it's up to you. Me: Wait, WHAT? I love the Pi Foundation's goals but also I'm lazy, so I guess I'll stick to watching other ppl tinker on YT.

Got this for my 3D printer timelaps videos with a variety of lenses. Works great with OctoPrint via Pi the community is huge and active for this application. 16 mm lens and perfectly timed shots are stunning to watch since they are technically individual photos and not a 1080p - 4k video. For anything else it's probably a nightmare.

This was much better quality than I expected. If I was in the RasPi space I'd be excited

[@pvisequaltonrt]

The title makes sense after Linus said “what do words mean”

[@RootkitStudios]

I've always wanted to builr a camera

[@rhombo323]

If I put android 10 on the pi4, and use a basic camera application from the play store, would I be able to use the pi camera and use the aplications software? And add gpio button for shutter control? Or small touchscreen case?

Does it work with motioneyeos? I've been working on some diy security cameras, and the upgraded quality would be welcome.
