It's capable of 3280 x 2464 pixel static images, and also supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640x480p90 video.

It attaches to Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board upper surface and uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras.

  • Fixed focus lens on-board

  • Connects to the Raspberry Pi board via a short ribbon cable (supplied)
  • Camera v2 is supported in the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS, Raspberry Pi's preferred operating system

The NoIR Camera has No InfraRed (NoIR) filter on the lens which makes it perfect for doing Infrared photography and taking pictures in low light (twilight) environments.

Please note: The included cable won't fit the Pi Zero, if you want to use this camera with any Pi Zero you may wish to consider the Pi Zero camera cable.

ARRR GEEE BEEEE! I'm driving it with a microcontroller + circuitpython by adapting an Adafruit LCD library for the ST7565 (almost the same as the ST7567 in the GFX hat) and porting the Pimoroni SN3218 library to circuitpython. Works great! I don't need capacitive touch so not bothering with that.

Prompt delivery. Worked out of the box with their examples. Great price at discounted price of £9. Perhaps some more detailed documentation would be useful.

An incredibly priced device, great screen, the buttons work very well and the LEDs for each buttons are very appreciated. The RGB backlight with individually control zones is a great touch. I am currently using it with a pi to received and display SMS messages.

Lovely upgrade to my display-o-tron, and inky phat... and though it’s not as higher resolution as the inky Phat, the ability to refresh the data quicker makes it much more useful

Just bought my second one of these, great for small embedded projects. Pimoroni is becoming a favourite here too, I've bought quite a few things now and the goodies have always arrived quickly.
