Arducam's latest crowdfunded camera features the familiar official Raspberry Pi camera form factor, but with an autofocus lens and a sensor: Sony's IMX519. This is even more powerful than the one used in the official Raspberry Pi HQ camera.

The case for the camera is sold separately, but if you can spare the extra £4.50 you'll discover that it features a 1/4-inch thread for tripods. The included CSI flat flex cable is the same as the one used with the official Pi cameras, and it can be changed for either longer or shorter cables, or used with converters if the Raspberry Pi Zero is your device of choice.
