pinholes were the first cameras ever, so i presume they are older
The pinhole camera is simple and requires no complex lens-based optical systems to work effectively as an image maker. In its simplest form it is no more than a light-tight box with a pinhole on one end and a place for a sheet of light sensitive material on the other.

The most common type of pinhole photography is done with the aid of a shoe box. The film (use real black and white film as it is less sensitive to light and light leaks because we are talking about a shoe box here) is taped to one end of a shoe box and a small pinhole is carefully punched into the center of the opposite end of the shoe box. The box lid should be placed on tightly and sealed in place. When you handle the film, you must try to have total darkness. Practice all aspects of putting your shoe box "Camera" together in the light first. Place your finger over the pin hole before bringing into the light. Then the box is placed, usually outside on a sunny day. Point the pinhole end of the box toward something that you are interested in taking a picture of. Your subject has to be something that is stationary. The light coming through the pinhole will expose your film for you. Research the subject to help determine pinhole size and approximate exposure times to take some guesswork out your project.
A pinhole camera is a simple device that can be used to project an image of the sun without the need for lenses. It consists of a dark box or tube with a tiny hole (the pinhole) on one end and a surface (like photographic paper or a screen) on the opposite end to capture the image. When sunlight passes through the pinhole, it creates an inverted image of the sun on the surface inside the camera. This method is safe for observing the sun, as it prevents direct eye exposure to harmful rays.
A Pinhole camera.
I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.
