16MP Camera Module for All Pis. 2 times higher resolution than the v2 camera, 40% higher than the HQ camera. Based on the 16MP Sony IMX519 sensor, this new camera module gives all Raspberry Pi hackers every bit of power they need to build future-proof projects.

V1/V2 Size, with PDAF Autofocus. The community has been craving autofocus in Pi cameras, so we took the advice. We gave this camera the classic V1/V2 form factor so you can add hassle-free upgrades to your existing projects. Also, we adapted PDAF for 16MP Camera recently which will greatly improve the focusing speed.

Crisper Images/Videos Than The HQ Camera. It’s not just the resolution bump, the “quality” is way higher than the HQ Camera too. With the same camera tuning algorithms from the foundation, this module beats the Raspberry Pi HQ camera in every aspect. (sharpness/saturation/exposure/etc.)
