Raspberry Pi adds $50 12.3 MP camera

Raspberry Pi, the increasingly useful homebrew computing platform, has added a 12.3-megapixel High-Quality Camera for just $50, alongside a range of interchangeable lenses starting at $25.

Features include:

  • 12.3 megapixel Sony IMX477 sensor
  • 1.55μm × 1.55μm pixel size – double the pixel area of IMX219
  • Back-illuminated sensor architecture for improved sensitivity
  • Support for off-the-shelf C- and CS-mount lenses
  • Integrated back-focus adjustment ring and tripod mount

Resellers will be offering a couple of lens options: a 6 mm CS‑mount lens at $25, and a 16 mm C-mount lens priced at $50.
