Summary: Security camera, facial recognition lock, photo booth, motion controlled camera, camera enabled telescope, time lapse recorder, augmented reality. There’s an seemingly endless number of interesting projects you can build with a Raspberry Pi and a camera. To make these there are two official camera products for the Raspberry Pi, the Camera Module and the new (April 2020) High Quality Camera. Take your pick!For this road test I will review the High Quality Camera and compare it to the Camera Module. I received the following from Element14:Raspberry Pi High Quality CameraRaspberry Pi 4 4GBCGL Electronic 6mm wide angle lensCGL Electronic 16mm Telephoto lensThe resultant images are 4056×3040px and have appropriate Exif data included (manufacturer set to RaspberryPi, model set to RP_imx477I had a quick look at the picamera Python library for controlling the camera and with the following short program I was easily able to produce the same result as using raspistill. I thought I would need to use Python for more control but raspistill turns out to be fully featured enough that I didn’t need it during this RoadTest. There is also a raspivid command line application for taking videos which works well but for this RoadTest I focused on taking photos.It was a fun project and the camera and software worked great!ConclusionRaspberry Pi has two great choices for cameras! I found both options great to use but I did especially like the High Quality camera which felt like you could get SLR camera quality.Since prices vary from region to region I’ll list the prices relative to the cost of the Raspberry Pi model I used. The RP is the new currency unit of the Maker revolution!Raspberry Pi 4 4GB – 1RPHQ Camera – 1RPCamera Module – 0.5RP6mm wide angle lens – 0.5RP16mm telephoto lens – 1RPIn my opinion both cameras are quite affordable products so it comes down to what is suitable for your project.I would choose the High Quality Camera when I:Needed better quality images for example if I was filming something I wanted to share online.Needed a particular lens shape (high zoom or wide angle).Wanted to be able to control the depth of field of my shots.Was considering just buying one for playing around with, and could afford the High Quality option.I would choose the Camera Module when I:Needed to reduce project costs.Had less space available to mount the camera.Wanted to do infra-red photography, and don’t feel brave enough to remove the filter on the HQ camera (looks difficult and will void warranty). You can purchase a version of the Camera Module with the IR filter not installed.In my final scoring I knocked a few points off for the software but this really nit-picking. This product is not a plug and play webcam, but is targeted at Makers. There is a lot of high quality online material available from the Raspberry Pi foundation (articleprojectdocumentation) for the camera, which I made good use of to find my way around.
