I just purchased 3
That's correct. If you open up the plastic (or have a developers kit) the single board Camera is the version 2 (current version) of the Camera.
So Hobby King is selling the new cameras for 29.99. (or at least I received) This is awesome news.
That is excellent news Jeremie & rz90208! Thank you very much for that feedback!
In my case they ship from Hong Kong so postage is also a massive saving. In total I would get the 3 of them delivered for one third of the cost incl taxes, I'm sure the boss can't complain about that deal!
This does a lot of amazing stuff, but still has a lot of issues relating to power draw and WiFi connectivity.

Thanks JonWatker, I should have suspected that. My new cameras (hopefully they are the new ones) are in the mail. After 3 years away from EzRobot I was keen to get back into Robots as I (wrongfully? Hopefully not) assumed things had progressed! At this stage any improvement is a plus. I've downloaded the latest software but twice already it has locked up for unknown reasons. Not a good sign as it's on a new Win 10 PC!
@JonWalter,
Can you elaborate on your issues at all? I'd love to see if we can help you out with them.
WiFi Connectivity issues can usually be resolved through changing the WiFi channel on your EZ-B or it could be possibly poor signal getting to the EZ-B. I own some devices myself that have really poor AP mode connection due the antenna design/RF strength that they have. Can you try other devices, USB WiFi dongles, etc.
In terms of power draw, I'm surprised, the entire Revolution series was designed around power efficiency. Are you using a larger than normal amount of servos?
It's important to compare Apples with Apples
There are 2 wifi controllers V4 (BlueGiga) old and V4 v2 (MXChip) actual.
Which one you have problems ?
I just received the Cameras from Hobby King Singapore and can confirm they are the new version with single board and a heat sink, Hooray!
Now comes the thrill of exchanging the one in JD's head!
