Hi, I think we're probably not quite understanding what kind of cameras it is that you've been using, and what you think you might be using in future. Perhaps we can take a moment to explain how we understand it.
The letters "IMX" are what Sony use in naming their image sensors. We use quite a few of Sony's IMX sensors in our camera modules.
Supported by the legacy "Raspicam" stack:
IMX219 - in our v2 camera module
IMX477 - in our HQ cam
(and there's also the non-Sony OV5647)
Supported by the libcamera stack:
All the above
IMX708 - camera module 3
IMX296 - GS cam
and a variety of 3rd party sensors.
If you're using the legacy stack, any camera module using an IMX219 or IMX477 (or OV5647) should work on a CM4 (though not all of them will work on a non-CM Pi). If it's not an official Raspberry Pi camera, then that's of course subject to other factors, such as the board's connectors, any other features of the camera module and so on. Basically, you need to verify with the manufacturer that it works with a Pi.
This "200" number seems to be causing confusion. As far as I understand it, it's just some number Waveshare have slapped on the end to designate something else about the module (the FoV, presumably). But there's no such thing as an IMX200 (so far as we know). If there's an IMX219 inside it, then (subject to the caveats above), it should work. Does that clear things up at all?
