This variant of ESP32cam (model number S014TF) has autofocus AF-VDD and AF-GND already connected. This is good because there is no need to manually solder wires on the CSI connector. This board also has a 90% efficiency 5V to 3.3V DCDC replacing the original ESP32cam's 3.3V LDO that generates a lot of heat. The biggest downside to this board is the SD card must run in SPI mode rather than MMC mode and SPI is way slower.
The board seems to work for me, except for OTA upgrading the firmware and html files via a ZIP file. Unzipping the file appears to cause stack overflow. I haven't tracked that issue down yet.
Another issue is reading from the SD card is slow, therefore the web interface occasionally times out.
