Pinhole was a slang term for A. a primitive type of camera with a very small aperture, giving maximum depth- but requiring much light, and B. this still in use- the smallest , and thus the deepest in depth of field aperture of any given camera or lens. My most modern Nikon F-80 has a preselected F/32 pinhole setting ( coded in as M) on the modal dial) this is great for distance shots of skyscrapers and the like on bright days only! Photo sensors will shift to a brighter aperture if there is anadequate light- such is progress. l25 ( shutter speed) and F-32 can work wonders with buildings.
The pinhole camera has no lens. The human eye has a variable-focus lens.
A pinhole camera can go out of focus due to several factors, including the size of the pinhole and the distance between the pinhole and the photo-sensitive surface. If the pinhole is too large, it allows light rays from different angles to converge at different points, causing a blurry image. Additionally, if the object being photographed is too close to the pinhole, the resulting image may also appear out of focus. Properly adjusting the distance between the object and the camera can help achieve sharper images.

Most photographers would consider an slr to be "normal". If it's not an slr or a tlr, then you must be referring to a range finder camera or monorail camera. I presume range finder. Thus the major difference is that an slr system presents to the viewing eye pretty much everything that the lens is bringing to the film (minus the parts where the circular image lies outside the film rectangle). A range finder attempts to do this with a separate small viewing lens usually mounted on the camera face off to one side of the lens. The angle of view of the main lens is not the same as the angle of view of the viewing lens, which is usually not a problem. But if you are close enough to a subject such as a flower and you place the camera according to what you see in the viewfinder, you will be too far off to one side and will get less than the whole flower in the picture. This effect is known as parallax.
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.
