1. A folded camera, comprising:
a lens positioned in an optical path between an optical path folding element (OPFE) and an image sensor, wherein the OPFE folds light from a first direction to a second direction, the lens having a lens optical axis substantially parallel to the second direction and a lens height substantially aligned with the first direction, and wherein the image sensor lies in a plane substantially perpendicular to the optical axis and is wire bonded to a printed circuit board (PCB) with wire bonds located on sides of the image sensor that are substantially parallel to the first direction.
