Very good quality so far. Used as an astrophotography camera on a telescope and also in a project to convert an old SLR camera to digital.

I have installed easily the camera on the socket and then started to look for information about its functioning. While the information are present and sometimes consistent, I could not make it work. Some clear advice about the software and where to find it would probably make a big difference. After spending fruitlessly half of a day with frustrating results, I have put everything in a box and stored for a day with more patience and luck

The camera was very easy to fit despite my banana fingers and worked first time with no complications. It is now being used with ALPR to record registrations into a MySQL database to simulate a entry system. Cracking product and I will probably get more for a facial recognition system project. Fast delivery and clean powerful branding on the box.

I have both the v2 camera as well as the brand new HiRes camera. I actually prefer the v2 camera (this product), despite being an older camera because it has a fixed focus and aperture and always results in a sharp picture. With the HiRes Camera you are always fiddling with the focus. Also this v2 camera fits on the tilt-adjustable mount from picammount.com that attaches to the RaspberryPi case itself, while the new camera is too large to use that kind of a mounting solution.

Not a lot to write really. I used the adaptor ribbon cable that came with the camera and lo and behold, 1 camera, 1 Pi zero W and 1 case and voila, a surveillance system. (after downloading the software of course) The ultimate accolade of course was from my non technically minded wife "It's very clear isn't it0
