Perhaps we should make it more restrictive. It's the lens that

In a digital camera, doesn't what's behind the lens count for quite a
bit, too?
Even with film camera's the statement that 'the camera is just a
light-tight box' is a bit too sweeping. There are shots possible with some
camera's that are virtually impossible with some others. High shutter
speeds, high synch speeds and motor drive speeds come to mind... If it
were just a matter of 'fitting your hand', why did all the manufacurers
have a whole line-up of bodies?
So maybe the stipulation should stay the way it is?
Maybe it should. I agree on lager pictures, though. If that's o.k. with
the gallery maintainers and the host, of course!
