Raspberrypi high res camera

Former Member

Is anyone aware of a camera module that will interface with the raspberry pi that is higher than the existing 5mp?

 

I need something that is 13 megapixels or higher...

    The basic issue is that the camera interface requires specific sensor-support in software on the raspberry pi. As that part of the software runs on the video core, we have to rely on the raspberrypi.org guys to create support for a sensor. There is just one sensor supported right now, the 5MP one.

     

    Products like "usb cameras" are usually meant for video conferencing. So they focus on full-hd video at the best. They might have a 5Mpixel sensor like the raspberry pi camera, but not any more.

     

    Many digital cameras have "gphoto2 support". Some of them allow remote capture. Maybe that will do what you want?
