The image quality is really good—the pictures come out sharp, and the autofocus works well, which makes it great for things like robotics builds, experiments, or even simple vision projects. We’ve used it with different Raspberry Pi setups, and it integrates well once everything is configured. It’s a nice way to introduce students to real-world applications like monitoring systems, basic AI/vision ideas, or documenting their projects. Once it’s up and running, though, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. For classroom use, robotics clubs, or STEM programs, it’s definitely a worthwhile tool—just not something I’d call plug-and-play for beginners. Review: Nice Camera - I use this camera on a Pi 5 Bookworm 64 bit with the AI-Hat running a custom YOLO11 model for a security system. Runs at over 30Hz with a 1280x720 image size for my application 24-7. No issues, great picture. When used with a Pi 5 be sure to setup your /boot/firmware/config.txt file with the following 2 lines otherwise the camera will NOT be recognized: camera_auto_detect=0 # CHANGE existing line default was =1 dtoverlay=imx708,cam0. # NEW place after [all], cam0 or cam1 depending on the Pi 5 camera slot. ## Features - Arducam for Raspberry Pi camera v3 is compatible with Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B, Pi Zero W/2 W. - Based on IMX708 sensor with HDR, 4608 x 2592 is the highest resolution you can get for still images. - The autofocus of pi cam v3 is achieved by a mixture of PDAF and CDAF, ensuring crisp and clear images. - Fully support libcamera and Picamera2, and uses CSI-2 serial data output with 2-wire serial communication for seamless integration. - User guide: This is Arducam for the Raspberry Pi camera module V3, different from the official camera V3, this camera needs some modification on the configuration before use. Please refer to the product description page for the information in detail. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0C9PYCV9S | | Best Sellers Rank | #50 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | Arducam | | Built-In Media | 12MP IMX708 image sensor, 66° HFOV autofocus Lens, Raspberry Pi compatible cables or connectors | | CPU Manufacturer | ARM | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi 5/4B/3B, Zero W/2 W | | Connectivity Technology | CSI-2 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 144 Reviews | | Included Components | 12MP IMX708 image sensor, 66° HFOV autofocus Lens, Raspberry Pi compatible cables or connectors | | Manufacturer | Arducam | | Mfr Part Number | B0312 | | Model Name | Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, 12MP IMX708 75°(D) Autofocus Pi Camera V3 | | Model Number | B0312 | | Operating System | Bullseye OS | | Processor Brand | ARM | | Processor Count | 1 | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR4 | | Total Usb Ports | 4 | | Wireless Compability | 802.11b | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Arducam - **Connectivity Technology:** CSI-2 - **Included Components:** 12MP IMX708 image sensor, 66° HFOV autofocus Lens, Raspberry Pi compatible cables or connectors - **Model Name:** Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, 12MP IMX708 75°(D) Autofocus Pi Camera V3 - **Operating System:** Bullseye OS ## Images ![Arducam 12MP IMX708 75°(D) Autofocus Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6147Hcxz0yL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera for student projects, but setup takes some trial and error *by P***3 on May 12, 2026* I picked up this camera to use with our Raspberry Pi projects in the classroom, and overall it’s been a solid addition.

Runs at over 30Hz with a 1280x720 image size for my application 24-7. No issues, great picture.

The camera itself is perfectly fine but any picture captured on the camera using the Nano will appear pink/magenta and fully washed out and this is because the sensor is operation without a specific Image Signal Processor tuned to to the Nano platform. I am going to return and swap for an IMX477 sensor which has ISP support on the Jetson. ## Frequently Bought Together - Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3, 12MP IMX708 75°(D) Autofocus Pi Camera V3, 15-22pin FFC Cable - Arducam for Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3 Case, ABS Housing for IMX519 16MP Autofocus Camera, Compatible with Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3/V1/V2, and Any 25 * 24mm Camera Board - Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2-8 Megapixel,1080p (RPI-CAM-V2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/542375753-arducam-12mp-imx708-75-d-autofocus-raspberry-pi-camera-module](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/542375753-arducam-12mp-imx708-75-d-autofocus-raspberry-pi-camera-module) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
