The Raspberry Pi Foundation has just announced a new camera, showing that the company makes more than just tiny single-board computers.

The Global Shutter Camera is designed to capture high-motion footage without noticeable artifacts. The company says this makes it well-suited for sports photography, wildlife photography, and multiple industrial applications, among other tasks. This is also just a decent camera with a good sensor, so it’s suitable for everyday use.
Fast movement is always tricky for standard cameras, as the footage starts to degrade by introducing visual artifacts as the shutter opens and closes. Even if these artifacts are not visible to the human eye, they can ruin the post-processing stage later via apps and photo editing programs.
The Global Shutter Camera gets around this problem by attaching a sensor to the shutter that detects rapid movement and downsamples the footage to reduce or even eliminate visual artifacts. The end result? Perfectly usable footage of unique scenarios like guitar strings vibrating after being plucked.
