Much peoples was think camera port is for sell extra expensive cable. I have founded true (hide) history of camera port on RaspPiZero:

http://www.daveakerman.com/?p=1943

Is amazed because work of one "fan man" who want this.

Therefore has Eben (inventor of Raspberry Pi) have listen one guy. Now everybody is benefit. Price same. Camera features. Therefore I have conclude: never, say is too much or impossible.

He have said: "I’d been pleading with Eben since I first saw a prototype of the original Pi Zero, that its low weight would be ideal for live-imaging HAB applications, if only it had a camera port."

One person ask is good to create extra feature. Don't being afraid!! If you wanting such feature (any) you must to ask and maybe Eben giving. Interested/interesting link and storie!

I'm just waiting for Dave to drop a glider with a Pi in it so it flies across the channel.
Or solar powered planes with Pi's.
