AB Designing a new astronomical instrument typically challenges the availablecameras on the market. In many cases, no camera can fulfill the requirements ofthe instrument in terms of photon budget, speed, and even interfaces with therest of the instrument. In this situation, the only options are to either downgradethe performance of the instrument or design new cameras from scratch,provided it is possible to identify a compliant detector. The latter is the case of theSPGCams, the cameras developed to be used with the Tunable Magnetograph(TuMag) and the Sunrise Chromospheric lnfrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP)for the SuNRISE 111 mission. SPGCams have been designed, developed, andbuilt entirely in-house by the Solar Physics Group (SPG) at the Instituto deAstrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC). We report here on the scientific rationaleand system engineering requirements set by the two instruments that drove thedevelopment, as well as on the technical details and trade-offs used to fulfill thespecifications. The cameras were fully verified before the flight, and results fromthe assembly and verification campaign are presented as well. SPGCams sharethe design, although sorne parametric features differentiate the visible cameras(for TuMag) and the IR ones (for SCIP). Even though they were specificallydeveloped for the SuNRISE III mission, the robust and careful design makes themsu ita ble for different applications in other astronomical instruments.
