for Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Module, 5MP OV5647 1080P Webcam on Raspbian (Cables in 2 Kinds)

Works well with Pi Zero 2W, just make sure to enable I2C with "sudo raspi-config" and add "dtoverlay=ov5647" to the "[all]" section of "/boot/firmware/config.txt".

The form factor is perfect for small camera projects, and being mounted to dev board makes attachment simple. It has great resolution, and a bright "on" led. I used mine with a Pi Zero, and the camera includes the smaller cable. The cable is pretty stiff, but that means it'll hold up well. Pay attention to the length of cable you need for your project thought. I ended up having to bundle and pack mine pretty fiercely.

I liked most was that it was a complete unit: Pi Camera and included flat cables for the Pi. In my case I'm using it with a Pi Zero. My past Pi camera projects were very much delayed because of wrong flat cables. This time I connected everything in a few minutes and had it working.

After downloading/installing the proper software (with some online linux how to's-- Google it) to my Raspbian and Ubuntu OS's to my Raspberry Pi 3 B and Zero, I tested both ribbon cables. Everything worked fine. I love the fact that with the two cables you can switch between the camera connectors for the Pi Zero and the other Pi's which use the wider ribbon cable. This item also came with some very helpful directions on how to activate the camera feature on Raspbian. There is an extensive online community that is very helpful in giving you ideas for projects. I would have no problem buying this product from this vendor again!!! UPDATE: This camera works great. A good value for the price. What keeps this thing from getting 5 stars is that the four corner holes do not fit into my official Raspberry Pi Zero W camera case (4) camera mounts. When I use it in those cases (I have bought two of these cameras) I just settle the camera board into the cases carefully maneuvering the camera out the camera port at the top of the camera lid. Even then it doesn't center right being a bit offset. Great value camera but not fully compatible in the Official Raspberry Pi Zero W camera case

Works as expected! very simple to install, just be careful applying even pressure across the ribbon cable when connecting to the pi.

It does what it advertises to do. Colors are washed out, and the image isn't sharp at all. I have another 5mp camera module that's actually way better than this one. The image at 720p looks smudged. Though that could just be the hardware/software that I'm using (Raspberry pi zero, with Kerberos.io). I had a microsoft lifecam hooked up prior to this, and it functioned much better all around. The only thing I couldn't get out of that was higher FPS. This one at least does that. Night time is basically useless. I get that it's not an NOIR camera, but the lifecam I had was at least able to make out people walking in the dark, considering I live on a corner with a street light... You can't make out anything with this. All you see is a smudge where the street light is. I gave it 3/4, not because anything was misleading when advertised, but rather, it's a mediocre 5mp camera.

It came with an instruction sheet, which I thought was nice. But, there were no instructions for swapping the attached cable for the one that fits the smaller Raspberry Pi Zero. Fortunately, they have a pretty fabulous web site that tells you how to do it. And all the necessary cables are included. Nice looking image too. More than adequate to remotely monitor a 3D printer.

It's a good camera module for the price. Everything is exactly as the listing states. I wish I would of read that it has a fixed focus before purchasing but that's on me.
