Is the high quality camera module worth buying over the v2? I just want to try doing a few camera projects and monitor my front door with my Pi zero W or Pi 4 B. I hear the v2s aren't that great and I don't want to end up paying again to get the HQ module and a lens.

edit: for those in the same boat, I did a good amount more of research and this comes with a basic case and the extra cable needed for the pi zeroes (as well as 2 other cables). All that for $12 is certainly worth the gamble, and the comments on Amazon that were working on projects gave it good marks. I feel confident.
