Raspberry Pi HQ Camera IMX477 – 12MP with M12 Mount

Raspberry Pi Boards are awesome tools that are as versatile as they are powerful, bringing a diverse level of functionality that can perform well for all kinds of different tasks and applications. This is what makes them so great for video and image capturing, as they can not only utilise Camera Modules to view the world, but they can also perform a whole lot of post-processing and other tasks with that imagery for even more advanced and complex projects than simple image or video recording, and that’s why they’re often used for basic AI Vision and machine learning applications. This is why we always jump at the opportunity to expand our range of Raspberry Pi Compatible Cameras, such as this awesome Raspberry Pi IMX477 Camera, which offers 12-megapixel resolution and a 7.9mm-diagonal sensor for impressive low-light performance, but has also been equipped with a M12 lens mount.

Of course, from first glance it's easy to see that while this camera does offer great quality compared to most hobbyist cameras, the M12 mount adapter is the key feature that differentiates it from other Camera Modules that we stock. However, this comes at the cost of requiring an M12 lens to operate properly. Fortunately though, we stock three different M12 lenses, so that you can enjoy your camera in whatever way you please, catering to whatever level of zoom or telephoto you need, with the option to swap out lenses as you see fit - with this little camera module also supporting a large variety of other lenses that you can find online and at specialised stores due to the standardised fitting. These features, along with a good price range that accommodates hobbyists like us, makes it a solid choice if you’re looking for a camera for your Raspberry Pi projects, and with optional lenses to switch and swap between, you can expect to get a lot more use out of this than many other standard cameras. If you’re looking for a cool lens to attach to the included adapter for this IMX477 Camera Module, be sure to check out our M12 Mount Lens Range to find options for both telephoto and zoom, as well as possibly more to come in the future.

Please Note: This camera module requires a M12 Mount Lense to operate properly, so if you’re looking for a cool lens to attach to the included adapter for this IMX477 Camera Module, be sure to check out our M12 Mount Lens Range to find options for both telephoto and zoom, as well as possibly more to come in the future.

The primary aim of The Raspberry Pi Foundation is to enable people from all walks of life to understand, learn and develop our digital world with ideas that actually matter to them. Their single-board computers are designed with an open-source style, while being both easy to use and versatile. This allows people to build their own systems to cater to unique problems within their environment, while allowing them to share with and learn from others who are building similar types of systems – growing and developing the open-source movement in every step of the way.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation also takes their initiative a step further by building accessories like cameras, control interfaces and other products that can be seamlessly integrated into projects, made with high quality components but without the unnecessary frills that many brands choose to add on for “extra value”. This “no frills” approach makes their products more affordable while catering to consumers throughout the world, regardless of their financial condition. In doing so, people in almost any situation can use these products to improve their lives, better the world around them, and help develop both their local communities, as well as online communities of Makers.

Finally, like the cherry (or perhaps raspberry) on top of an already-great Sundae, The Raspberry Pi Foundation utilises the profits that they make to sponsor and host outreach and education efforts, with the intent to help people by making computing and digital development more accessible. They train educators and offer free resources online for people to learn from, giving consumers the power to change the world around them, and ultimately do their small part in developing the ever-expanding digital world too.
