I looked at a local spy shop a while ago. They have several "spy pinhole
cameras" that produced unbelievably good pictures for their resolution. They
work with a VCR so I suppose a USB frame grabber or something would work to
capture pictures. The surprising thing was the sensitivity it had for low
light levels. The one I was looking at was going for $75.00. It was a module
needing an external power supply - another $12.00 or so for one of the
transformer 6V jobs.
I am thinking of using something like this as a previewer for a long
pinhole camera in order to aim it.

>I modified a Barbie digital camera about a year and a half ago to use a

pinhole size was too small to allow enough light through to
