A camera system for a vehicle includes: an imager module having a carrier device; a lens system accommodated on the carrier device; an image sensor mounted on the carrier device, for generating image signals, the image sensor being in contact with conductor tracks which run on or upon the carrier device; and a planar circuit carrier which is in contact with the conductor tracks of the carrier device for recording image signals, the conductor tracks not running in parallel to the circuit carrier. The carrier device includes (i) a first contact pad connected to one of the conductor tracks, and (ii) a second contact surface which is in contact with the first contact pad via a bond connection formed between the second contact surface and a contact area of the first contact pad, the contact area running in parallel to the second contact surface.
