Raspberry PI Spy Camers
Forgive me if this has been asked a hundred times before. Other than the physical arrangement of components, is there any difference between the spy cam and the regular camera for the PI?

Re: Raspberry PI Spy Camers
Oops. To be slightly less cryptic, I meant, are there any optical, performance or feature differences. Obviously, the spy can can be used for purposes where the regular cam won't fit or is too obvious. I have a use where it would be handy, but not critical for the optical portion to fit in a smaller space, but would I be losig any features or picture quality over the regular cam? I assume not, but that is not clear from anything I read. It's well worth the extra $10 to me if there is no significant difference.

Re: Raspberry PI Spy Camers
The only difference is size. Both are 5MP fixed-focus cameras capable of producing 2592 x 1944 pixel static images and 1080p30, 720p60, 640x480p60/90 video.
