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...
Do you know by any chance if this camera has a rolling or global shutter?
For robotics neither color nor resolution matter.
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
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.
@@tmicecave It's rolling rolling rolling... If you think you can get a global shutter camera at this resolution for this price, keep on dreaming.
Definitely would look into this to creating a virtual avatar with more facial and emotion animations.

5:23 you can write a simple python script that listens for a button you plug in via the GPIO pins using io.input(*the pin number*) and use os.system("*the capture command*") when it's pressed. then just keep the python script running at all times to get a "point and shoot" effect.

Now time for me to make it a webcam ;)
And it works great for that! Beating the quality of a webcam is not exactly difficult ;-)
I was thinking the same thing. I personally don't know of any small package, cheap good quality webcams that I can run a server from AND PuTTY/SSH into. I really love the idea behind it.
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!
@@Pyroja Capture card? Stream over network? With a Pi Zero you can make it act like a UVC-compliant webcam. Powered over the USB cable and as low latency as you'd expect from a webcam (which is much lower than a network stream) :-D

@@TobiasDettinger so long as you have proper lens and its adapter, the rest is just math (read: image processing).
the fact that they actually had Brandon compare this to an actual consumer camera and the tone of this video seem to point to them not understanding this distinction at all. they reviewed a part for creators to use in custom built devices as if it was a consumer point and shoot camera, without any sort of humor or irony about the insanity of the comparison....
5:45 HA nice touch. The video/camera guru gets the cinematic aspect ratio lol
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.
why is brandon always in wider and wider aspect ratio 😂🤣 PS: Slap the anamorphic lens to it.. :D

I would be interested in a project like this if it used a full frame sensor. I'm so sick of arbitrary software limitations using popular cameras, but such a small sensor can never compete with full frame cameras.
Save up. buy a full-frame camera. Have the balls to take it apart. I believe in you
There is the old joke about airplanes and operating systems:
Microsoft: The departure lounge is filled with people in nice suits telling you how great it will be when the plane arrives.
Apple: Everyone looks the same with friendly smiles. At 30,000 feet they hold up a bomb and ask: "OK to reboot?"
UNIX: Everyone arrives at the airport with a part to the plane. They assemble it on the airfield then get in it and take off.
Yep, that last one is me.
I'm imagining hundreds of people flash mobbing an airport, each trying to get thought security holding a piece of an airplane. The person bringing the overhead bin can't get though because the overhead bin is too big to fit in an overhead bin.

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.
“Builring your own camera” did dennis write this title??? 😂 love you dennis
I thought it was a company before I realized that building was misspelled.
yikes, we don't need racists in the comments
This camera is perfect for robotics applications. I currently work with the old raspberry pi cam's for my applications and I think this could make a brilliant improvement to the accuracy I can get for computer vision applications

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. I also want to buy this camera module even though I can’t think of anything to use it for.

I kind of want one of these for monitoring my 3D printer as I can't seem to get the V2 camera to focus properly on the 3D printer bed, maybe it's just not able to focus on something that close. So it's always slightly out of focus, just about good enough to monitor my prints but not good enough for recordings or timelapse.

Hi Linus (and friends)
Absolutely great video, but at some point it is mentioned that it's a pitty there is no dedicated shutter button. You could have soldered one on yourself (or plugged it in even, if you buy the right wires). That's the beauty of projects like these!
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.
Me: Is just folding@home
Linus: uploads
Me: nevermind the diseases
0:17 some high quality vibes from Vsauce
If you found a way to get the food pixel software and based the camera is off of that... Could you get a 4k/maybe 8k camera? Or if you created your own camera software from scratch could you make something that would take the full capacity of the 12.3mp and maybe be able to have better processing power by overclocking to 2.2ghz instead of 1.5 (raspberry pi 4)?
I've built a few to tinker with. The hardest part of the HQ is that unlike the other modules, which have a fixed focus, you need to work out a way to set the focus, which is tricky if you take it outside without a screen.
Linus becomes a hipster after ask the the question “what do words mean”
Alex Beatson the the
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)
So since I have a somewhat unused Raspberry Pi lying around, how good and easy would this be as a streaming webcam? Since even the lowcost logitech webcams went over $300 and are currently priced at around $150 if you don't want to wait several months... Maybe a follow up on how-to, whether it could be included into OBS and how good it compares to the general webcam market would be cool!
I’m curious how the video will perform in a controlled environment? Something like a top-down rig or a face shot where the camera isn’t really meant to be moved and lighting conditions would stay the same between shots. Initially it might be a lot of tweaking to get the settings right, but after all that, how do you think it would fare in content creation (especially as a second camera to something like a smartphone)?
Because if you are like me, you already have a couple RPis lying around. It’s a good way to resurrect them. At that point, the only cost is the sensor and the lens. If I have a stationary camera, I don’t really care about having 4G, especially since an RPi has WiFi and Bluetooth already built in

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.
It sounds like you could implement a better image processing solution on the PI to achieve better results, possibly some of the high quality open source solutions without a GUI?

IR filter? did have one? or is a bad one? magenta casting on the image of Raspberry pi is cast from IR blending in to the sensor.
Literally the only thing I wanted to say was loving the new intro I've been a fan for so long it's good to see some new style
When you’re so early the title says “builring”
Is it just me or my phone, cuz, i saw a lens go from bent to straight (to watch that part 2:45)
It's your dirty mind playing tricks on you!
You did see exactly that. Very weird, no idea why they put that in there
But now i´m curious, both dynamic range and the excessive magenta can be easily mitigated by prepossessing the photos on the pi without losing fidelity, plus many more features could be added. Would them it be comparable to a low-mid level pro-camera, or wold it still be on the "phone" range?
I guess my real question is how it compares to alternative options, i.e. upcycling old laptop cams or using a
