What are the advantages and disadvantages of a pinhole camera?

Advantages of a Pinhole Camera :

• There is no need of focussing.
• Since there is no lens used in a pinhole camera, the image obtained is free from optical defects like colour distortion.

Disadvantages of a Pinhole Camera :

• The image is obtained on a screen and no permanent record of the image can be maintained.
• The image formed lacks sharpness and is faint so no details can be observed in it.
• An image of a moving object cannot be captured using a pinhole camera. It only forms images of stationary objects.
