Question
Hello, I would like to know what is the most important part of the camera
Thank you for your consideration.
-Jennifer
The Lens, as long as you have a good piece of glass on the front of the box and have it in focus with a correct exposure you will make a good pic.
A good lens mounted on a cigar box will make as good a pic as any camera body with the same lens, providing the focus with a correct exposure is considered.
