NB : I haven't tried RPi 2 version. With advancement going on in RPi versions, we can say .. "Why not... , to all the problems that an initial user faced with Model A and Model B." | |

Obviously cameras differ, but all I have seen require much less than the 500mA of the USB standard. The camera does NOT give an output of 5V/1A it requires a certain current, but it is often difficult to discover the exact value from published specs. | |
