Difficult setup and minimal documentation
This camera says it works well for Raspberry Pis and OctoPi, but there are numerous steps and workarounds to get the camera working. I had to use a beta channel of OctoPI to get the camera to work.The documentation is also minimal. There are a number of features or facts about the camera that I learned from third party sources. The naming scheme is used inconsistently in online documentation, which is really frustrating when trying to search online for help, and my forum post asking for help is in the first page of Google results for "Arducam B0390" which is the brand and model number.The performance also isn't great either. This camera doesn't have native JPG streaming so my Raspberry Pi 4 has one core locked at 100% to render a frame or two every second, because it has to encode the image.All in all, I spent maybe a dozen hours testing, troubleshooting, and flashing OSes to try and get this to work. Save yourself the hassle and get a more "official" Raspberry Pi camera that works with the current version of Raspbian out of the box.

not linux compatable
I am really not happy with this camera. It is not compatible with open cv. the 1mx219 does not have a linux driver, which limits how usefull it is for facial recognition, yes you can MAKE IT WORK,with a lot of hassle and by doing some creative coding, but who wants something you can make work in the applications you got it for. If you just want a simple web cam type of thing, then this an ok camera... but lack of a linux driver would have been a deal breaker for me.
