Plug and PlayIt just works. I'm using for my Raspberry Pi. The picture is very good and I really couldn't be happier.

Much better in image quality than the old Raspberry Pi CameraThis Raspberry Pi Camera is much better in image quality than the old camera. The components are further away from the mounting holes, which is good.
