Review: Camera ok, case doesn’t work - The camera is ok, there understandably isn’t a cable for the raspberry pi 5 in the box. There are a variety of cables for pi 5 on the market, some work some don’t. Manufacturers should resolve this matter
Review: RPI 5 users - Buy the mini cable - Camera is good quality, works with pi 4 and below. Pi5 however, you need a mini ribbon cable, which from a reputable seller just set me back another £7 with postage. This should be included in the box imo - as the camera box says “compatible with all Raspberry Pis”, which without the cable, no it doesn’t
