Excelent product

getting it to work was a bit tricky. Could use improvment on the documentation, especially setting boot config.txt

SAD FACE :/

Sad face: Broke the case before I got this mounted and the ribbon cable is damaged at this point.

Being the first is always the worst.

It has great specs, but there’s zero support for this camera. You’re going to be banging your head against all the people that ignored this camera. Don’t waste your time and money on it. It’s too hard to get it to work.

Tiny camera, good price, good photos

Need a bit of light to get quality images, but great auto focus and image resolution and easy to use

Hardware is great. Software and docs are terrible

I bought this camera because I wanted a high MP solution for a raspberry pi 4B CV project I'm working on. The first few weeks of tinkering with this, I was able to get the unit running by following the instructions on their website, but it was not a clear process. There was seemingly an order to the install instructions but then I'd find a note in a completely separate place regarding required steps to get it working. Eventually, I had it working with libcamera, but couldn't get it working with picamera2. I reached out to support and support just pointed me to a picamera2 example from the picamera2 official repo (not their own). It didn't help. I took a few months off the project and then returned to it in the last couple days. I still couldn't get it working so I decided to torch it and start fresh. Now I can't get it running even with libcamera, and judging by their forums, i'm not the only one.I think the main issue here is that they have written their own version of libcamera to add some additional support (mainly autofocus it seems). The problem with this is that because they're using a forked version, someone on their side needs to actively maintain and update the repo in order for the hardware to continue working with the latest features. I have a feeling this is why picamera2 wasn't playing nicely with it. I hadn't thought this through when I bought the product. And now that the install scripts seem to be broken, I can't do anything. Now I'm at the whim of their support staff for getting it to work. In retrospect, I would have gone with a more common and widely tested rPi camera module. I'm glad I tried this one instead of the 64MP camera. now i know better.

don't bother

None of the documentation worked, as is. After days of testing, best I could get was an out of fucus image, and that was by skipping their driver installs.Was attempting to install on a klipper printer, with octoprint and touch screen.
