For D suffix, there is a chip OV426 on the board.

For H suffix, there is a chip OV428 on the board.

For M suffix, there is no OV426 or OV428 on the board, only good for MIPI camera.

Summary

If you only need MIPI cameras compatibility, then select modules with ‘M’ suffix, they are the cheapest.

If you only need DVP cameras equal to 400×400 pixels or less, then select modules with ‘D’ suffix.

If you need muC112 series cameras, then select modules with ‘H’ suffix.
