Did we mention they’re only $25? Imagine in the not-so-distant future, and by distant, we mean maybe a year or two, being able to build a custom cinema camera for your film project and spending under $100. That’s the potential of the emerging Raspberry Pi-based cameras that can capture 4K stills and full 1080p video. The camera is made by ArduCam, a Chinese startup that specializes in Arduino and Raspberry Pi-based applications. Their current project, which is featured on Kickstarter, is the $25 autofocus camera module for Raspberry Pi. The module connects to a standard RP board and utilizes a Sony 16 MP image sensor capable of capturing at a resolution of 4656 x 3496, more than 40% sharper than the most popular Pi-based camera modules. Moreover, the chip in the ArduCam is capable of capturing video at 1080p full HD at up to 30 frames per second, 720p HD at up to 60fps. Read More...
