Leica M or Contax G would make shorter focal length pinhole cameras than would SLRs. Quality would most likely depend on the precision of the pinhole. See the Calumet catalog. They sell pre-made precision pinholes mounted into pody caps for a number of cameras, giving the focal length and f-stop for each.
