MEMENTO ESP32 Camera Module, features an ESP32-S3 chip, supports Circuit Python and Arduino. It includes an OV5640 sensor 1.54" TFT display.

The camera he’s using here is a Canon 514XL-S that was purchased for only $5, which is a very common price point for these obsolete machines, especially since this one wasn’t working.

In more technical terms, the AI Camera is based on a Sony image sensor (the IMX500) paired with a RP2040, Raspberry Pi’s own microcontroller chip with on-chip SRAM.
