The Raspberry Pi Camera Board is a custom designed add-on for Raspberry Pi. It attaches to Raspberry Pi by way of one of the small sockets on the board upper surface. This interface uses the dedicated CSi interface, designed especially for interfacing to cameras. 
The board itself is tiny, at around 25mm x 20mm x 9mm and weighing in at just over 3g, making it perfect for mobile or other applications where size and weight are important. 
5 megapixel native resolution sensor capable of 2592 x 1944 pixel static images.
Supports 1080p30, 720p60 and 640X480p60/90 video.
The camera is supported in the latest version of Raspbian (Raspberry Pis preferred operating system)

Note: This module is only capable of taking pictures and video, not sound.
