Claim:
1. A camera device, comprising: a plurality of at least three optical chains, each optical chain in said plurality of at least three optical chains including a lens, a plurality of deflection elements, and a sensor, said plurality of deflection elements including at least a first deflection element and a second deflection element, the sensor of each optical chain in said plurality of at least three optical chains being mounted in a sensor plane, the sensor planes of different optical chains in said plurality of at least three optical chains being parallel to one another or the sensor planes of different optical chains in said plurality of at least three optical chains being the same sensor plane, and wherein light passing through a first optical chain in said plurality of at least three optical chains crosses a light path of another optical chain in said plurality of at least three optical chains when the light passing though the first optical chain travels from the first deflector element to the second deflector element of the first optical chain.
