Well I work in robotics and this is making me wonder about integrating very small cameras in to parts of our system that could benefit from that. Honestly most datasheets are interesting to me because I design electronics.

I think the interesting figure could be that its a cube of ~1mm but I agree it's lacking context

How is a specsheet any less interesting than a random GitHub readme?

Well, a gh repo goes beyond what fits in one or two sentences. I can clone, run, inspect and usually use to learn something from those.
Now if this was a blogpost by someone making, say, disposable video-enabled teledildonics, we'd go beyond "this exists"...

Linked spec sheet is labelled as 2.5 years old, chip is 6 years old

How does it differ from cameras used in capsule endoscopy [1]? The technology has been available for 25 years and is widely used (4 millions units sold in 2024).

Lcsc have 0 in stock but with price 145 or 397 eur, no datasheet
Look its pretty cool that there's imaging sensors this small but... this is just a spec sheet? People who upvote this please add additional context or interesting other stuff because as it stands there's now a two page pdf on the frontend basically saying "you can buy very small cameras for disposable useage". Not too intellectually stimulating a submission in my opinion...
