Raspberry Pi has launched the Camera Module 3, with several new and improved features. The new camera module is the company’s first in six years and comes with significant upgrades that will provide users with a better experience.
The major improvement in the new camera module is the resolution. The previous Module 2 cameras used a Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor, but the new models carry Sony’s new 12-megapixel IMX708 chip. This new chip not only has a larger resolution but also better low-light sensitivity, which translates to sharper images. Additionally, the 16:9 aspect ratio of the new chip allows for HD video up to 1080p50 to be captured using the entire sensor area.
