A compact camera module that contains a generally planar base on which is mounted a lens barrel is provided. The base, barrel, or both are molded from a polymer composition that includes a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer and a plurality of mineral fibers (also known as 'whisker'). The mineral fibers have a median width of from about 1 to about 35 micrometers and constitute from about 5 wt.% to about 60 wt.% of the polymer composition.
