The Raspberry Pi, the credit-card sized single board computer developed in the UK, just added a visual component to its arsenal. A 5MP CMOS camera, the tiny cam will attach to the mini-computer and allow programmers to use it any way they see fit. And in order to celebrate this new addition to the family, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is sponsoring a little contest for photography-minded programmers as well.
Want to build and program your own camera? You'll soon be able to do so using Raspberry Pi's new camera module. The new board will feature a 5-megapixel sensor (likely a cheaper CMOS chip) that can capture 1080p H.264 video at 30 frames per second.
This AI-powered device may look like an ordinary Polaroid camera. But instead of capturing images, it uses machine learning to transform photos into poems.
A clever engineer has turned a computer mouse into a working camera. The fun DIY project may not deliver impeccable image quality, but it's a great way to repurpose an old mouse.
A new camera design takes inspiration from an unusual, short-lived analog camera type in the 1980s to create a thoroughly modern image-making device. The camera concept, which looks remarkably real and was made by industrial designer Olga Orel, delivers a digital re-imagining of vintage quadrascopic cameras.
Max van Leeuwen built a Polaroid instant camera that can remotely "develop" its photos on a picture frame, no matter where in the world the camera and frame are.
The Nintendo Game Boy Camera holds a special place in the hearts of many photographers and gamers. It is an iconic part of photography history and was the first digital camera that many people owned when it hit store shelves in 1998 for about $50. Among the Game Boy Camera's numerous limitations is that it requires a Nintendo Game Boy, although builder Raphael Boichot has something to say about that with his Dashboy Camera project.
Researchers from the University of Sheffield in England have developed a relatively affordable sulfur dioxide (SO2) camera that may help predict volcanoes, providing essential warnings to nearby communities and facilitating earlier evacuation and preparation.
Photographer Malcolm Wilson recently converted a Yashica Electro 35mm film camera into a digital camera using a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and Raspberry Pi HQ camera module. It's a fun twist on analog to digital conversions, and Wilson says his converted camera is one of his favorite cameras to use.
An artist has created a novel AI camera that describes what it sees to an AI image generator which then synthesizes the picture and instantly prints them out for the photographer.
Australian photographer and avid DIY-er Jim Metcalfe recently decided to up his macro photography game by building his own stereoscopic macro camera to capture and create 3D images.
Raspberry Pi, makers of single-board computers and tiny cameras, has come under fire from members of its user base that are upset the company hired a former police officer who used the products to covertly surveil targets.

A team of designers has created what it calls the Photon: a small, simple, light meter that is powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico and costs a fraction of what most camera accessory companies charge for one.
The KineCAM is an instant camera-inspired "DIY" device that allows users to capture and create "animated" photographs (of physical GIFs) in the form of a kinegram.
A password may not be enough to protect a device from hackers. A new study has revealed how criminals can use thermal cameras to retrace the password an individual has typed into a smartphone, computer keyboard, or even an ATM.
A computer science student with a passion for electronics and photography has created a 3D printed 12-megapixel camera powered by Linux and a Raspberry Pi computer system named the PiCam.
ArduCam has announced a new $399 108-megapixel USB camera module that is designed for use in machine vision applications. While it can run with Raspberry Pi, its USB interface makes it a lot more versatile for other applications.
Are you sometimes annoyed by having too many easy and convenient ways to take perfect photos? Don’t despair…

In this article, I'm going to tell you the story of my latest camera creation: a digital Polaroid camera that combines a receipt printer with a Raspberry Pi. To build it I took an old Polaroid Minute Maker camera, stripped out its guts, and replaced the innards with a digital camera, an E Ink display, a receipt printer, and an SNES controller to operate the camera.
Looking at photos of dogs and cats can apparently make you feel happier, and self-proclaimed "depressed millennial" Ryder of the YouTube Channel Ryder Calm Down decided photos weren't good enough and developed a camera that recognizes dogs and alerts him so he can spot them out the window.
Recently a squirrel noticed our nut box that was waiting to be raided for almost a year now. But as our squirrels here are a bit skittish, I needed to come up with a way to get in close to take nice pictures of them.
