*in cases where two sensors share the same resolution, the number is increased by 1. For example, the BFS-U3-50S5C and BFS-U3-51S5C are both 5.0 MP cameras

The optics designator may not appear on all product documentation. For example, on the camera box label shown below, the -C designator appears on the part number, but not on the model number. The lens mount designator may also not appear on the serial number label on the bottom of the camera, or on the etching on the side of the camera. However, the missing designator does not mean the camera is a different model from the one that was ordered. The part number and the model refer to the same camera on all product labelling.
