Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera

The Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera delivers 12.3-megapixel resolution with a back-illuminated Sony IMX477 sensor, offering significantly improved image quality and low-light performance over the standard Camera Module. Its interchangeable C/CS-mount lens system opens up professional photography and industrial applications.

With approximately 50% greater area per pixel compared to the Camera Module v2, the HQ Camera excels in challenging lighting conditions. The milled aluminium lens mount includes an integrated tripod mount and adjustable focus ring for precise control.
