Has anyone done any power usage testing with the raspberry pi and/or its official camera board?
I am wondering exactly how much the camera uses when it is in use and when it is idle for a project that I am working on. No-one on the other forum seems to have completed power usage testing with the camera.
There is however some testing done with just the Raspberry Pi and those results are very interesting.

Results:
For comparison the model B 256M (default clocks):
Idle (console): 0.372A 1.89W
Idle (lightdm running): 0.375A 1.91W
Running scp from SD card: 0.413A 2.09W
Model A (default clocks)
Idle (console): 0.113A 0.587W
cat /dev/urandom | gzip: 0.153A 0.795W
Model A (ARM=350MHz overvolt=0)
Idle (console): 0.111A 0.576W
cat /dev/urandom | gzip: 0.133A 0.691W
Model A (ARM=350MHz overvolt=-8)
Idle (console): 0.106A 0.554W
cat /dev/urandom | gzip: 0.125A 0.652W
Is there anyone who can test the camera and post their results... I am very interested.
