I know a professor from a college here in São Paulo, he teaches photography (it's a

somethings, like dettach the lense and set a pinhole in front. He told me one of his students
make a pinhole videocam, like your idea.

I bought my webcam at the web, second hand.

We can do some tests and change experiences over here............
