  • ArduCAM High Resolution Autofocus Camera Module for Raspberry Pi
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Dec 2021
    ArduCAM claims that it's better (see https://www.arducam.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/camera-mo...). It has better resolution (16MP vs 12.3MP). However, the HQ has better changeable lenses available. I'm updating the rPIFocus (https://github.com/lemariva/rPIFocus) repository to include the camera and test it. The autofocus speed will be definitely faster :).
