The Arducam Pi Hawk-eye is a 64-megapixel camera for the Raspberry Pi 4/CM4 computer.

Following the company's 16MP autofocus camera released at the end of last year, Arducam Pi Hawk-eye is a 64MP "ultra-high resolution" camera for Raspberry Pi 4 or CM4 with built-in autofocus.

The new camera module will allow you to shoot still photographs at a resolution of up to 9152 x 6944 pixels, however films on the Raspberry Pi 4 will still be limited to 1080p30. The Pi Hawk-eye is also compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi v1/v2 cameras, so you may keep utilising the same enclosures/mounts and software, such as libcamera.

While a Raspberry Pi 4 or Compute Module 4/4S is required for 64MP resolution, the camera may still be utilised with prior generation Raspberry Pi (2/3/Zero W/Zero 2 W) boards, but only up to 16MP. Because the maximum video resolution and framerate are the same as the 16MP camera, Arducam Pi Hawk-eye is particularly useful for Broadcom BCM2711 (4x Cortex-A72) powered Raspberry Pi boards or modules, and is meant for shooting still photographs. Future Raspberry Pi boards may be able to take use of the new camera module's better video quality and framerate.

A 64MP Quad-Camera Kit with an Arducam UC-512 expansion board and four 64MP Pi Hawk-eye camera modules is now available, allowing users to shoot four high-resolution images (nearly) simultaneously from a single Raspberry Pi 4. A camera & cable extension kit, which uses RJ45 ports and Cat-5 cable to expand the camera's range, a pan-tilt kit, and a CSI-to-HDMI converter set are all included with one 64MP camera.

Arducam is currently accepting pre-orders, with delivery scheduled in early May. A Pi Hawk-eye camera module costs $35.99, a quad-camera kit costs $194, a cable extension kit costs $85.98, a pan-tilt kit costs $62.98, and a CSI-to-HDMI converter set costs $49.98. All of those are, as far as I can tell, pre-order prices with a 40% discount, and prices should go up in May. On the product page, you'll find more information as well as various still image examples shot with the camera.
