PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a camera system that fulfills the demand for high resolution and has high scalability. SOLUTION: The camera system of the present invention includes a plurality of cameras 100 each including an imaging unit 101 and an image processing unit 102. If configured to operate in a mode that is for cooperation with other cameras, a first camera 100A included in the camera system causes the image processing unit 102 of the first camera 100A to receive images from other cameras, and generate synthesized image by synthesizing the received images and an image captured by the imaging unit 101 of the first camera 100A. The first camera transmits the generated synthesized image to a second camera 100B included in the camera system. The second camera 100B causes, if configured to operate in the mode that is for cooperation with other cameras, the image processing unit 102 of the second camera 100B to perform part or whole of compression encoding of the received synthesized image.
