#2I so hope that some day there will be a widely available wide angle version or easy-to-plug-on lens of this.
Also an official multiplexer would rock so one could connect more than one camera to the Pi.

You can use two cameras with the compute module. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/real-time-depth-perception-...

#4Awesome stuff.
I do wish they'd release a module without the bayer filter for monochrome imaging.
Granted it is maybe quite a bit of work to rewrite parts of the ISP to suit a relatively niche market of monochrome sensor...

#5I've been looking into home security lately and with the more expensive camera-kits (say $2k+)...
I've been wondering if a de-centralized raspberry-pi setup might be so much better. And with 8mp I think I should start a POC, right?

#6Maybe I missed it, but there's no mention of whether the focus is adjustable. In the previous version, it was glued at the factory to a fixed focus and the default was wrong for close-ups on objects. Sure, you could use pliers to "break" the glue, but there was a non-zero risk of breaking the sensor. I decided to go with a different, more adjustable-on-purpose camera, instead.

According to the RS Components page [0] it appears to be fixed focus.

Mentioning an official multiplexer might imply you're already aware of this, but, in case you're not - here you go: http://www.ivmech.com/magaza/en/development-modules-c-4/ivpo...

Thanks. I did miss it. :) Newark/element14's product info page didn't have that info when I checked on my mobile. (Edit: The info about fixed focus is there on the desktop version of the page. The Product Overview section didn't show up in the mobile version on my Nexus 5): https://www.newark.com/raspberry-pi/rpi-8mp-camera-board/ras...

#10I've found several USB webcam boards that work great, and give more flexibility when it comes to lens field of view and the like. The RPI is fantastic for a standing webcam setup using the USB camera, see: http://www.trisweb.com/webcam
Does anyone have example photos from this new camera?
