It seems like the sensors are extremely flexible and could achieve varying resolutions by playing around with the firmware settings. Meaning this could be an area where selecting a low to mid range sensor could provide the right balance between price and resolution. I’m leaning into purchasing the OV2640. Below are some examples of potential sensors // grains.
