Both solutions offer excellent value for money for programmers who need to combine high-quality image capture with low energy consumption and where size and weight are important, such as in mobile applications.
The first kit, priced at €33.64 (plus VAT and shipping), combines the low-power Raspberry Pi Model A with a small, lightweight camera module. The second kit includes a 4GB SD card with the operating system pre-installed and can be purchased for just €39.36. Both kits offer savings of over 10% compared to buying the two products separately.
The Model A is the lower-profile version of the Raspberry Pi board, with 256MB of RAM and a USB port without Ethernet. The camera module, measuring just 25mm x 9mm and weighing slightly over 3g, contains a 5-megapixel CMOS sensor capable of capturing still images at a resolution of 2592 x 1944 pixels. Video recording offers 
1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps, and 640x480p at 60 or 90fps. The camera module connects to the Raspberry Pi Model A via a small ribbon cable and uses CSI and I2C for control.
