Raspberry Pi has just announced a new camera module for machine vision enthusiasts and folks wanting a little more quality in motion photography. This unit boasts a global shutter.
For those that don’t know what a global shutter is or why it makes a difference, watch this video example from the Raspberry Pi announcement post that does a pretty quick job explaining the biggest advantage.
