The Arducam high-resolution autofocus camera module for the Raspberry Pi is an exclusive camera board that takes what other leading camera modules offer and excels in every single aspect.

The camera module has a resolution of 16 megapixels, an autofocus lens, an official camera module form factor and boatloads of improvements. The camera is the ideal choice for personal and industrial users alike, compatible with any existing Raspberry Pi models and works with the latest software from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, leveraging the same tuning algorithms used in the official camera modules.
