The 5MP Omnivision camera module was the Raspberry Pi’s very first add-on, but in the three years since it was release it hasn’t gotten a single update… that is, until today. The Rasberri Pi Foundation has officially announced the arrival of a new and improved Sony module (actually two), and it won’t cost you a penny more than the last one.
The sensor, which still comes in standard and infrared versions, comes from Sony and in addition to a 3MP bump in resolution over the old Omnivision model (from 5MP to 8MP), the Raspberry Pi team claims the new sensor is, “a leap forward in image quality, colour fidelity and low-light performance.”
