Following the launch of the Raspberry Pi3 in February, element14 has launched two new upgraded cameras. The Raspberry Pi Camera v2 and Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera v2 have been added to the credit-card sized computer and are in stock to buy from element14. Both new cameras have been upgraded to 8MP and feature an image sensor that enables the board to capture 3280 x 2464 pixel static images. The v2 cameras have the same video capability as the original cameras and link through a dedicated CSi interface.The NoIR camera v2 has a No InfraRed filter on the lens which makes it the perfect option for infrared photography and taking pictures in low light environments.The new v2 cameras are also backwards compatible with all Raspberry Pi boards and have the same footprint and weight as the previous 5MP cameras.
