Originally posted by Serkevan So it's a 1/2.3" sensor on a literal board. I'm sure it will be very practical.
In fairness, the Pentax Q used a small sensor and worked brilliantly. It was C and CS lens compatible too... and released EIGHT years ago
Still, I'm sure the new Pi camera will be fun - so long as you don't mind carrying the camera module, Pi 4B SBC, 5v 3a power supply or battery pack, LCD screen module, control pad, and some sort of (probably 3D-printed) case. As for it being value for money like the OP suggested, I think a used Q would come in cheaper than that little lot, with better stills IQ
