I've built one digital pinhole out of a broken sony s70 by taking out
the lenses (its not a removable model so I had to unscrew it) and
placing a matchbox inside with metal paper pinholed.
since the pinhole is so close to the CCD (a beautiful piece of blue
cristal) the images I get are something like a 50mm or less, without
distortion because the CCD is flat.
I couldn't manage to record any pictures because the camera didn't
'understand' what was going on but the video out plug kept working fine
so I could see my images on tv.

it was fun.

want to see how this frankenstein looks like?
