Our Review
For $157.93 CAD, the 415 8.3MP Camera Module(125 Degree Lens FF) packs respectable specs: Sensor: OV5640 5MP, Resolution: 3280x2464, Interface: CSI-2 (MIPI). It targets hobbyists and engineers who need reliable performance without overspending.
Image quality was sharp at the center with some softness at edges. Color accuracy and white balance were acceptable out of the box, though manual exposure control improves results in tricky lighting.
Integration with the host platform was straightforward. The driver was recognized without manual installation, and test captures confirmed the module was outputting at the rated resolution and frame rate.
For the price point, the 415 8.3MP Camera Module(125 Degree Lens FF) delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where cameras & vision components are essential.
What We Like
- Wide-angle lens option covers more of the scene

- Compact module integrates easily into custom enclosures
Watch Out For
- No onboard image processing — all load on host MCU/SBC
- Ribbon cable is fragile and difficult to re-seat
- Rolling shutter causes artifacts with fast-moving subjects
