Camera Module 3 and M12-Mount High-Quality Camera

Raspberry Pi's Camera Module 3 is a 12 megapixel Sony IMX708 camera module. It has improved low-light sensitivity, high dynamic range (HDR) support, and powered autofocus. The Camera Module 3 is available in two types, visible light only and infrared sensitive (NoIR), and in either a standard (76 degree) or wide-angle (120 degree) lens. This is an improvement over the Camera Module 2 which featured the 8 megapixel Sony IMX219 camera module and the original camera module that featured the 5 megapixel OmniVision OV5647 sensor.

Raspberry PI has also released a second version of their High Quality (HQ) camera. Like the original version, the second version is built around the Sony IMX477 sensor module but features M12 lens mounting hardware so customers can use M12 style lenses versus the C or CS style lens used on the first version. Along with the HQ camera, Raspberry Pi offers a 5 MP 25 mm lens, a 12 MP 2.7 mm wide-angle lens, and a 12 MP 8 mm lens for the M12 camera.
