The Raspberry Pi Zero<\/a> has been notoriously difficult<\/em> to get hold of. Today, new stocks<\/a><\/strong> have arrived and they contain a new feature<\/strong> that will be sure to get people excited.<\/p>\n

That new feature is a camera port:<\/strong>\u00a0It enables the use of all models of the Raspberry Pi camera module. The connector is smaller than the regular connector<\/strong> on the full-sized Raspberry Pi and you will need a special cable to connect the camera<\/a>. The new connector is on the right-hand-side of the Zero (when you hold it with the GPIO pins at the top) and the board is now version 1.3. A few power circuitry components have been moved to make way for the port but basically the Zero is the same apart from the camera port.<\/p>\n

You can buy the new Zero (while stocks last!) from The Pi Hut<\/a> and Pimoroni<\/a>. The restriction of 1 Zero per customer remains in force for now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alex Eames from RasPi.TV has also covered the launch and has published his blog and a video (which you can see below) here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Update: The Raspberry Pi Foundation have, likewise, blogged about the launch and you can read their bloggage here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
