Great little Camera
Can't get anything better for the Raspberry Pi. A cable that keeps it's shape would be nice though.

Great value
This camera is a great value and easy to use with the popular Pi distributions (I use it on Raspbian). It's a good, simple choice over a USB webcam when you can locate the camera near the Pi and don't need too much in the way of camera mobility, since the ribbon cable can be a bit restrictive to movement. (Longer cables are available, at least at Adafruit, maybe here as well.) The cable connector does not feel like it's designed for frequent connect-disconnect cycles, just be careful with it. One tip: if you start seeing artifacts or lines in your photos or videos, bump up to a higher current power supply. The camera seems quite sensitive to low power conditions. I ran into that issue with a marginally spec'd wall wart, and solved it by switching to a fairly clean 5V @2.5A supply instead, and the artifacts went away.

Awesome camera, even awesome coding interface
Haven't seen a simpler easy to use diy camera interface than this one. raspberry pi official website has blogs and videos explaining how to hook up and code for this camera. python and autocomplete makes it a breeze

Good Pictures & Video
Using it as a streaming video motion detector since I can't hear the doorbell from my office. Lets me know when I've got to sign for FedEx or answer the door.
Easy to set up
