Love that everything is open source! Code relating to cameras have been traditionally locked down and hidden under NDAs. Surprised there's no sample photos nor specifications on image sensor.

I guess its for hiding a camera near where you park your bike and see who stole it or looked at it.
- MarkusWandel 2y ago> Looks like 5MP but saves as 3MP files. OMG that's so refreshing. Just recently I've come across, both from garage sales, a "40MP" camera smartphone (Chinese brand-X) that actually has, probably, a 13MP class sensor in it and upscales, and a wildlife camera that does the same. Waste a great deal of storage just to fool people into thinking they got a better camera, and then you have to downscale all that again to achieve something like pixel-level sharpness.
- davekeck 2y agoIndeed it's 2304 x 1296, 12-bit color. (That .jpg in the repo was a test image from a different camera.)
