Arducam High-Resolutions Autofocus camera is an exclusive camera board that takes what Raspberry Pi V1, V2 and HQ have to offer, and excels in every single aspect.

It takes zero compromise in specs. With a resolution at 16 megapixels (compared to 8MP and 12MP), an autofocus lens, a V2-like form factor and boatloads of improvements, the camera provides a better choice for a whole world of industrial/consumer/etc. applications, it’s compatible with any existing Pi models, works with the latest software from the foundation, and leverages the same tuning algorithms used in the official camera modules.

The package contains a camera board with a Sony IMX519 sensor and an autofocus lens, an FPC cable, and just like the HQ module, it has an integrated tripod mount too.
