Description
If you are looking for superior image quality for your computer vision or photography projects, the 8MP Sony IMX219 Camera is the standard choice. Replacing the older OmniVision sensor, this official “V2” module uses a high-sensitivity Sony sensor that dramatically improves image clarity and color balance. At Faranux Electronics, we recommend this 8MP Sony IMX219 Camera for users who need professional-grade results from their Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.

- All software is supported within the latest version of Raspbian Operating System
- Applications: CCTV security camera, motion detection, time lapse photography
- Board size:25mm*23mm
Crystal Clear Resolution
The leap from 5MP to 8MP is significant. This Camera captures static images at a resolution of 3280 x 2464 pixels.
- Sharper Details: Perfect for time-lapse photography or security monitoring where identifying faces is crucial.
- High-Speed Video: It supports 1080p video at 30 frames per second (fps), 720p at 60fps for smooth motion, and even VGA at 90fps for slow-motion analysis.
Sony Sensor Technology
The heart of this module is the Sony IMX219PQ Exmor R back-illuminated sensor. Unlike cheaper alternatives, this sensor reduces noise in low-light conditions and eliminates the “fixed pattern noise” often seen in older cameras. This makes the 8MP Sony IMX219 Camera excellent for machine learning tasks using OpenCV or TensorFlow on the Raspberry Pi.
Simple CSI Connection
This module is designed for efficiency. It connects to the board via the dedicated CSI (Camera Serial Interface) bus using a 15cm ribbon cable. This dedicated connection handles the high data rates of 8MP video without burdening the main CPU, leaving your Raspberry Pi free to run other applications.
Versatile Application
Whether you are building a wildlife camera trap, a smart doorbell, or a robot that can “see,” the 8MP Sony IMX219 Camera delivers the reliability you need. It works seamlessly with the standard libcamera and legacy raspistill libraries in Raspberry Pi OS.
