About pinhole cameras (bought or homemade) you've used:
-Which are the best 'features' or functions of pinhole cameras?
It is to construct a camera with a very short focal length. The long
shutter times are also appealing (okey, they can be obtained with lens
cameras as well...).

-Which are pinhole cameras lacking most (features or functions)?
 I agree with George: "A decent shutter."

About the images that comes out of pinhole cameras:
-What is the appeal of pinhole images?
The semi-surrealistic touch. It is possible to "read" the images, but
they are at the same time something else than reality.

-What don't you like about pinhole images?
Sometimes I would like to have a pinhole image with a more narrow depth
of field...
