Demolished Digital Camera
Behind here is the lens, which is like the pinhole of our pinhole camera.
This is where you would press the button to open the shutter. This is basically the cardboard flap we used to cover our pinhole.
Somewhere in this jumble of wires and chips is the storage device/memory card. That's the paper!

Here's the lens.
Here's the shutter open.
And here's the shutter closed.

Two things to look for. The broken digital camera has a little 2mm by 2mm piece that is the light-sensitive device (equal to the paper). It captures light (by trapping electrons). The camera circuitry then determines what the various electron counts mean and saves this info onto storage.
Open the back of the old film camera ... then take a picture ... you can see the shutter better then. The mirror flips up out of the way, and THEN the shutter opens/closers. The shutter is a black piece of cloth essentially. Try it out.
We had trouble finding the "paper" on the digital, we didn't know exactly what to look for.
And with the shutter, some cameras had film so we didn't know whether we should open the back or not! :S
