    Review Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera Review: Interchangeable Lenses, Powerful Sensor

    I'd love to see that on the features list on the box: "super easy focus wrench included!" ;) But yeah I think the comparison photo examples were unfair: clearly the V2 was just out of focus. 8MP up to 12MP is not a big difference... Hell i used to take better photos on my original 1.2MP...

    Installing Windows 10 OS (First Build)

    Don't make same mistake i did and try to rip the blue thing off the end of the USB stick lol... it's just a really slim line USB stick (i.e. you stick the NON-blue end in to the USB port...)
